I found a bunch of those similar issues, and maybe this is just another of the same with a different error number. Sorry in advance if so. I tried the dxcpl approach, but it never seemed to do anything.

Additionally, I tried capturing a log via the Windows LocalDumps regedit fun. But nothing new was captured there either.

And just like that, it's gone. I restarted the machine and installed a new driver from Nvidia, and Terminal is working again. 🤷

No idea what caused the issue or how to get details about what the issue was, but it's gone now.

The error is DXGI_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED and the description is:

The specified device interface or feature level is not supported on this system.

I was already a bit worried that I forgot to do some feature checks somewhere and started investigating. I'm glad to hear that the issue was resolved after a restart. Maybe it was just an internal driver bug.
