Windows Terminal version

1.21.10351.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.3037

Other Software

  • PowerShell 7 (arm64) 7.5.0 | installed from GitHub release page, MSI version
  • CMD
  • Developer [Command Prompt|PowerShell] for VS 2022
  • Any other Terminal profile when Terminal is set to the default application

Steps to reproduce

Open PowerShell 7 (arm64), CMD, or just Terminal. You will be met with a screen that looks like this:

Image

I have run repair, reset, uninstall, reinstall from Store for both PowerShell and Terminal. Also tried everything on the first page from Google. Terminal was working fine last week; this seems like a regression that was applied via an automatic update.

Expected Behavior

The prompt to appear

Actual Behavior

Prompt does not appear. Ctrl+C has no effect.

Closing this. I think it had something to do with Edge/Chromium web view controls not rendering correctly. Uninstalling/reinstalling Edge and rebooting fixed it (and Visual Studio, FWIW).

Well that sure is weird! Terminal isn't a webview (and neither is big VS), but I'm guessing it has to do with DirectX surfaces. Glad it went away for you though!

Even the VS installer UI was not rendering correctly. I also could not interact with the controls on these windows, even if I tabbed around and saw a selection rect around the selected invisible control (label/button, etc.); clicking did nothing, space bar did nothing.

It was really weird. I have never seen anything like it, and I've been devving on Windows since it used to BSOD every few hours (> 25 years 🙅)
