Is it still running in task manager? or did it actually crash/? My theory is that it's just minimizing to the tray icon.

Could you share your settings.json file?

If it's not still running, and the terminal is crashing, mind submitting feedback with Feedback hub?

Turns out that it was just minimizing to the tray icon. I noticed the setting minimizeToNotificationArea in the settings file was set to true. Thanks for the help!
