"Latest" isn't a terminal version. You could be on canary, on preview, stable, on a version that hasn't gotten updated by the Store yet, in an insider selfhost channel, or even on a dev build.

Can you share the output of wt -v/?

More serioulsy, it has happened again, while the terminal window was training an ML model, terminal window was bacground, I've clicked on it to make it focused, and it died instantly. Ongoing training = RIP.

We're sorry that it crashed. As you're surely aware though, we can't do anything with just "instant crash" as the only information.

If you otherwise have not collected crash dumps yet, you can find steps here to activate automatic crash dump collection: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/wiki/Troubleshooting-Tips#capture-automatically

Edit: Please note that if your system goes completely OOM during training, the terminal may crash.
