Steps to reproduce

Open a terminal and have some work in progress.
Install new nvidia drivers.

Expected Behavior

Terminal windows don't close when updating GPU drivers.

Actual Behavior

During the GPU driver reset as part of the upgrade (when screen blanks), all terminal windows close and you lose all of your work.

Windows Terminal probably crashed when you upgraded your driver. Is there any chance you have a crash report in the Event Viewer for Windows Terminal?

Or do you maybe have any dumps in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps?

I just upgraded my Nvidia graphics driver and didn't have any crashes, so it probably at least doesn't happen all the time. What graphics driver did you upgrade?

Edit: Discord on the other hand did crash after the upgrade. 😄

It does have an entry in event viewer:

And there is a dump as well.

It was upgrading to Nvidia driver 536.23

nvwqf2umx.dll

That might be a bug in the Nvidia driver, I think? If you're willing to share the dump with us, you can share it either on GitHub or send it to us via mail. You can find my personal mail address on my GitHub profile, and I'll then forward it to the rest of the team. However, it might contain parts of your terminal's contents.
