Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19043.0

Other Software

  • Ubuntu 20.04.3 inside WSL

Steps to reproduce

WT (stable or preview) will close in under a minute after opening it. It doesn't matter if it's sitting idle, if I've opened a tab, or if I've run a command before, it crashes within seconds.

This issue started today when I updated Windows from stable to the release preview channel, the Terminal issue began. I restored back to a system image I took last night and I'm now having the same issue on this image where I didn't have it before. Using cmd.exe, PowerShell, the standalone Ubuntu program, or the terminal inside VS Code works fine, it's specifically Windows Terminal.

No events are logged in the event viewer, I'm fairly new to Windows so I don't know how to troubleshoot further. Feedback Hub link and video showing the issue:

Expected Behavior

Terminal to not close (crash?) without me closing it.

Actual Behavior

Opening the terminal (stable or preview) and doing anything, the terminal will close within a minute of opening it.
