Originally created by @vefatica on GitHub (Nov 1, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

WindowsTerminal: Binary: 1.15.2210.14004, Store: 1.15.2874.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 10.0.19044.2130 (2009, 21H2)

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

With this in settings.json,

  "profiles": 
    {
        "defaults": 
        {
        	"adjustIndistinguishableColors": "never",

WT (release) gives a "failed to load settings" message box and starts with the default settings (expected). But it also leaves one of these.

Expected Behavior

No dump file

Actual Behavior

See above.

When I look closer, I see that it does crash (before it's shown) and it restarts itself.

Can you share the actual contents of the dmp with us? adjustIndistinguishableColors should default to never, so theoretically, that should no-op.

it does crash (before it's shown) and it restarts itself.

That's... real weird. Can you share your whole settings? Maybe it's trying to restore a saved session, and that session crashes/?

Here's the test I used. It looks like the first WT is the parent of the second one. Is there some sort of stub involved? Oddly, ProcessMonitor doesn't catch two instances.

v:\> start wt & & echo _STARTPID = %_startpid^n & pstat %_startpid /f IQBI+ & delay 1 & pstat *terminal* /f IQBI+

_STARTPID = 5640

PID:        5640
Path:       D:\wt\exe\wt.exe
Started:    2022-11-01 10:49:17.011355
PPID:       6056

PID:        11232
Path:       D:\wt\exe\WindowsTerminal.exe
Started:    2022-11-01 10:49:17.152414
PPID:       5640

The zipped dump file (with my settings) is too big to put here. Try this link

P.S., I see two instances even when there's no crash (offending line removed from settings.json).

OK, I didn't look carefully. The first process is actually WT.EXE, a stub. So the two instances arent really two instances Still there's a crash. It really does produce a crash dump and stay running!

I think I did that a couple hours ago. It was too big to put here; I gave a OneDrive link.

Thanks again! This looks like the same thing as /dup #13955.

I know it doesn't seem like it, but there is an instance of Terminal exiting here. The call stack is in the same place: deconstructing the application while we exit the process. 😄
