Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

WT 1.8.1444.0, Win 10 19042.985

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Terminal was left running a tool in Powershell. Returning to the computer showed Terminal closed. Trying to reopen it, the process exits after a few seconds without opening a window.
From around the time that Terminal exited, this is found in event log (unlocalized from German):
The access history in hive "\??\C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings\settings.dat" was cleared updating 3 keys and creating 1 modified pages.

Expected Behavior

Terminal should not exit unless it is told to.

Actual Behavior

Terminal went bye-bye without telling anyone.

The not-starting-part seems to be related to (using repair did not help me, still unable to launch): https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10211
The part about closing without being told to close still stands.

Well the registry lookup sure is weird. Best way to get to the bottom of this is with a Feedback Hub trace: /feedback
