Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash on Windows Terminal 1.14.1962.0 with Windows build 10.0.19044.1826, using both Ctrl + , and the dropdown Settings entry. Compare those paths with opening Settings JSON through the command palette; done means the Settings tab opens without becoming unresponsive or crashing.
