It appears as though Terminal is crashing because of something called "RivaTuner". When using hook libraries that load themselves into other applications, you're taking the stability of those applications into your own hands.

I had no idea MSI Afterburner/Riva Tuner was causing the crashes. To fix the issue without having to close MSI/Riva Tuner -

Open Riva Tuner, click the "Add" button at the bottom left corner, to add new profile properties.

Find Windows Terminal in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps"

There might be older versions of WindowsTerminal in there, make sure to open the current version you're using.

There's 4 .exe files inside, open each one and set "Application detection level" to "None".

Thanks mate, this was driving me bonkers, I had to open up a new terminal window each time I wanted to use the terminal because it would literally crash on each new tab.
