Windows Terminal version

1.17.1023

Windows build number

10.0.19044.2364

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Windows Terminal
  2. Open the Settings UI
  3. Navigate to the Appearance tab
  4. Set the Theme to "Use Windows theme" and Save
  5. Leave the Settings UI open
  6. Open the Windows settings app
  7. Navigate to the Personalization > Colors section
  8. Switch the color scheme from Dark to Light (or vice versa)

Expected Behavior

Windows Terminal should update to match the system color scheme.

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal crashes.

When running from within the VS debugger, I get an exception like this:

Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFBBDCEFE32 (KernelBase.dll) in WindowsTerminal.exe: 0xC000027B: An application-internal exception has occurred (parameters: 0x0000024A0FCC6090, 0x000000000000000C).

And a stack trace like this:
