Terminal: Terminal hangs or crashes after opening a tab

Created on 7 May 2020  路  5Comments  路  Source: microsoft/terminal

This happens randomly - does not depend on the number of opened/closed tabs before happening.
Sometimes it just crashes after 3 tabs are open after launch, but then other times it never happens.
Usually happens, when connected to a remote machine through SSH and then opening another tab - crash.

Confirmed, turning off RivaTuner or adding WindowsTerminal.exe to the ignore list fixed the issue!
Thanks for help @DHowett-MSFT!

It looks like we're crashing because of two things:

  1. "RivaTuner"
  2. The nvidia graphics driver.

I'm not sure we can help either of these things...

@DHowett-MSFT Thanks for quick response, will try to disable RivaTuner, or add an exception to for Terminal.

If it would be graphics driver issue, someone would have reported it already.

Will report back.

Thanks for checking!

It's hard to find RivaTuner developers support but based on Wiki information I've create thread
