Windows Terminal version

1.12.10982.0

Windows build number

Version 10.0.18363.1500

Other Software

No response

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

that I'm running a program in command prompt

What program are you running? That message is usually caused by the console host process (conhost.exe) exiting before the client application can even spawn, which is highly irregular. Are you running any sort of antivirus/?

The program I start is a Perl test script. I think it's most likely stuck on reading com ports from a device. The com ports are read with Putty's PLink which is started by a batch script. My company has CylancePROTECT set up.

This is the batch script which will usually be killed by the saved PID in Perl.

echo Gathering Data 2>NUL
powershell (Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -Filter ProcessId=$PID).ParentProcessId | tee "PID"
:reconnect
plink -serial %ComPort% -sercfg 115200,8,1,N,N >> serial.dat
echo Connection failed: Reconnecting...
sleep 5
goto reconnect

sleep 5 ... goto reconnect

Would you say that the error message dialog appears every five seconds?

Something is starting CMD over and over again -- can you use a tool like Process Explorer or Process Hacker to see who the parent process is?

Okay, I will try to use Process Explorer to find the parent process. It may take some time since I don't know how to reproduce it.
