Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 10 with Windows Terminal 1.18.1462.0 while an NVIDIA driver update triggers a GPU reset. Investigate the terminal window and process behavior during the screen blanking; done means existing terminal windows remain open and in-progress work is not lost.
