Perhaps it would be best if you captured a crash dump for us. You can find instructions here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/wiki/Troubleshooting-Tips#capture-automatically

You can send the dumps to <my github username>@microsoft.com.

Started happening for me too (after latest Windows update 2025-10-14?).

My .bat:

@echo off

start wt ^
--title "MyApp" -d "." cmd /k "npm run --prefix myapp dev" ^
; split-pane -V ^
--title "MyApp Admin" -d "." cmd /k "npm run --prefix myappadmin dev" ^
; move-focus left ^
; split-pane -H ^
--title "MyApp Portal" -d "." cmd /k "npm run --prefix myappcp dev" ^
; move-focus right ^
; split-pane -H ^
--title "MyApp Docs" -d "." cmd /k "npm run --prefix mayappdocs dev" ^
; move-focus up ^
; move-focus left

It creates one pane, some times two or three, extremely laggy, but then hangs and all my fans spin up and I have to kill it.

I checked the 3 dumps that were sent to me (Thanks all!) and all of them contained the same portion:

user32.dll!DispatchClientMessage()

This indicates that the AppHost::Initialize call deadlocks inside CalcSnappedDimension. There's an infinite loop somewhere.

(If anyone wants to debug this in the meantime, please feel free to do so!)

@avenmore commented on GitHub (Dec 24, 2025):

It would be so nice if this could be fixed. I have a new routine in my workflow: Open Task Manager; run batch file to start 4 local servers, less than 4 panes created then hang, kill wt.exe; repeat 2-10 times until all 4 panes created with contents running.
