Windows Terminal version

1.16.2642.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.819

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

There is no consistent reproduction. It happens often enough, usually after logged in Windows after logging out for a while or after waking up the machine from sleep.

Dump file: The dump file can be downloaded from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvrzkkkRHNSrhic-ffAuUGxdtbc_?e=0LhRhk

When this happens, I cannot open another Windows Terminal, but have to forcefully close the one that is hanging.
Below is a screenshot of the Windows Terminal when it happens. Please note the small close button highlighted in the red circle. This small close button stays even after forcefully closing the Windows Terminal process, and I have to click on it to make that button disappear.
