Windows Build: 10.0.18362.86

Open Terminal.

Opened up settings, to profiles.json.

On a profile, for example cmd, added "icon": %windir%\\system32\\cmd.exe. Save.

On trying to focus on the terminal, it crashed. No errors. Almost instant crash.

Removed that line.

Tries to relaunch terminal, unable to launch it again.
Tried rebooting. Tried redeploying, did not work.

Edit: nvm, was just an extra comma in the end. It would launch again. But crashes when that exe is there.
i feel stupid for posting this issue without a second thought.
