Windows terminal unresponsive with Windows fallback graphics driver #19126

@riedel

Description

@riedel

Windows Terminal version

1.23.11752.0

Windows build number

10.0.26100.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Disable graphics driver

Expected Behavior

Slow but usable

Actual Behavior

When disabling the graphics driver the terminal get slow to the point of being unusable. In situations of a malfunctioning of the graphics driver I would expect it to be still somewhat usable as the terminal is an important administration tool, that should help in such situation. I instead had to use the old console and mintty which had no performance degradation at all. The rendering setting was set to automatic btw. Forcing software rendering also had no immediate effect.
