Description

This happens to me constantly on Windows 11. I haven't faced this issue before on Windows 10.

Atom freezes when this happens, and the only way to close Atom is to force close it. I use PowerShell 7.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash when closing a terminal in Atom on Windows 11 with PowerShell 7, comparing the behavior with Windows 10 if available. Trace the terminal-close path and confirm that closing the terminal no longer freezes Atom or requires a forced close.
