_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
1. Press Ctrl + ` to open the settings interface

3. Click the "Browse..." button
4. The interface freezes. Neither the File Explorer window nor the "Windows Terminal" can be closed via the taskbar

### Actual Behavior
The interface is frozen, and the Explorer window for selecting files cannot be manipulated, nor can this window be closed
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the freeze through Settings, Add a new profile, and the Browse... button on the reported Windows Terminal and Windows build versions. Trace the settings browse flow from that entry point; done means both the file-selection Explorer window and Windows Terminal remain responsive and can be closed normally.
