Could you provide the actual version number? "latest from the store" doesn't tell me if you're on stable or preview builds 😉

Also: /feedback

IF you have Rivatuner Statistics Server on your machine, you need to add WT.exe and WindowsTerminal.exe to the application and set the "application detection" to "None" to fix the crashes.
