Hm, I'm seeing this too, and it seems new. The other ticket has been open for almost a year, can it really be the same thing?

Hmmmmm. A thought:

  • Is Terminal set as the Default Terminal Emulator in the Windows Settings?
  • Are you using "firstWindowPreference": "persistedWindowLayout"?

  • Terminal is the default terminal emulator, yes
  • I am using persistedWindowLayout, yes
  • "Launch on machine startup" is off
  • Windows' "Automatically save my restartable apps" setting is off

I did some testing, and it looks like both those settings need to be ON to manifest the problem.

Hypothesis: Some other startup item is trying to run something in a terminal, and that's causing Terminal to start up and restore its window, instead of exiting quickly.

Not sure how to catch what's making it startup though.
