Windows Terminal version

1.23.10353.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.3194

Other Software

Nvidia GeForce drivers 572.70

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch 'Windows Terminal Preview'

Expected Behavior

No rendering errors.

Actual Behavior

Lots of repeated rendering error messages and pop-ups

Since upgrading to current Nvidia GeForce drivers Windows Terminal crashes over and over with the errors below. Happens for Direct3D and Direct2D. Switch to software rendering (WARP) fixes the problem. Previously I had no problems with older Nvidia drivers from ~1 year ago.

Testing an old Windows Terminal Version: 1.21.10351.0 with same Nvidia GeForce drivers seems to have no problems for Direct3D and Direct2D. It is only the 1.23 'Preview' that crashes.
