Terminal hangs when opening new windows or new tabs on Windows Server 2022 #11135

Description

@wkbrd

After installing either Terminal 1.10 or Terminal Preview 1.11 (after its dependencies and winget), opening it the first time (or subsequent times) causes the window to hang indefinitely (the process shows as 'Not Responding' in Task Manager). A similar problem happens when clicking the + to open a new tab.

The problem happens regardless if the default terminal is either Powershell or others (like Command Prompt).

A partial workaround is to launch a second copy of the app while the instance is hung, then use Task Manager to kill the hung app. Once the hung process closes, the application opens as expected. The workaround does not address the new tab problem, but just the initial window opening.

If there is any logging or debug that can be enabled, please let me know.
