This may be a duplicate of #15553. Do you happen to have any dumps in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps? If so, would you be willing to share them with us?

One attempt to re-open the app caused it to do this:

This is super interesting. There's literally no tabs in that window - somehow a window was created without a tab?? Does clicking on the new tab button in that transparent window create a new tab?

Thanks for the bug report! We're going to mark this as a /dup of #15553 because we suspect that updating the GPU driver is the issue here. If we find that they're different, we'll de-dup the bugs.

IIRC that's what I ended up doing, at that point it started working normally again
