Steps to reproduce

I've never been able to reproduce this behavior on purpose. What usually happens is that I'm running a program in command prompt and I need to exit early. I think I'm usually unable to CTRL-C out of the application so I close the tab. Then I get the message below. If I press OK, it just shows up again. The only way I know to clear it is to restart my computer.

Expected Behavior

I don't really expect the error message to go away, but I think the error message should not pop up again when I press OK.

Actual Behavior

The error window keeps popping up after pressing OK or closing the window
