Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.449]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.6.2951.0

Steps to reproduce

  • Install via Microsoft Store
  • Run once, change no settings, just exit the application
  • Try to run the application again. Refuses to start

Uninstalling and re-installing allows me to run it once before it stops working again.
The following shows in Event Viewer:

Faulting application name: WindowsTerminal.exe, version: 1.0.1910.22001, time stamp: 0x5daf7ab2
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.18362.387, time stamp: 0x4361b720
Exception code: 0xc0000409
Fault offset: 0x000000000006db8e
Faulting process ID: 0x648
Faulting application start time: 0x01d593d9ad986ce2
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.6.2951.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\ucrtbase.dll
Report ID: 12631cc9-d497-4e43-b19a-b38d76e9dc8e
Faulting package full name: Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.6.2951.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Faulting package-relative application ID: App

Expected behavior

  • Expect application to start repeatably

Actual behavior

  • Windows Terminal not starting after first run
