Oh, that's really quite bad.

Can you file a bug in the feedback hub under the "DEVELOPER PLATFORM > APP DEPLOYMENT" category? Terminal isn't even getting launched, so we don't get a chance to see any crash information.

Afterwards, can you share that feedback item link here using the Share Link feature in the Feedback Hub?

I submitted a report using Feedback Hub like you said, but when I clicked on Share, it just opened a new feedback submission form, so I never had a chance to copy the feedback URL (there just wasn't any). I even submitted a new feedback just to check if it was a temporary issue, but no - as soon as I click on Share, I just get a new feedback submission form with no chance to get the previous feedback link.

...Oh well, today I woke up my PC and all of a sudden Windows Terminal launches and works fine. I can't tell what has changed in the system between yesterday and today. If I remember correctly I just installed Definitions Update (KB2267602) and that's it. I didn't even restart the PC (according to the uptime value).

Either way, the issue is solved for me now, so perhaps this report can be closed, but unfortunately I can't tell what was causing the problem and how to fix it if it happens again.

Ugh, I kinda hate when bugs just go away! Thanks for confirming, and I'm sorry that we can't help track it down. 😦
