Issue #3915 indicates this should be fixed, but it still seems to be a problem.

Okay so this was added in #16250, in 1.20 preview. And the SDK version it was added to was 25381.1.230528-0554, though, I think that's just 10.0.22631.0 externally (waiting on confirmation)

But you're on v1.20.11381.0, which would have updated from v1.20.11271.0... unless of course you updated straight from a 1.19 build (without UpdateWhileInUse) to the 1.20 build with it. I suppose that's possible, though I'm not sure there's a log that would confirm that hypothesis...

I'm just updating automatically through the store (no choice, group policy), so I would have updated from whatever version was in the store previously. I had another update-caused crash not too long before, so I would assume I was at the latest store-available version when the update to 1.20.11381.0 happened.

Just followed up with a contact on the Store team. Looks like Windows 11 builds 25399+ will be the first ones that actually have support for this. So Terminal is more than ready for it, but we need to wait for that to roll out broadly.

They also investigated backporting to earlier Windows versions, but that wasn't a possibility at this time. Alas, at least it's coming Soon^TM

@zadjii-msft Just for the record, this still doesn't work.

Upgrade from Terminal version 1.21.2361.0 to current version from the Store (1.21.2701.0) on a Windows 11 build higher than 25399 always closes opened Terminal app without warning during the automatic update process.
