If you use 3.3.3 again, does it now crash too?
If so, did you just happen to upgrade to Windows 11?

Unless I start godot from an open terminal, the editor crashes on project load.

It works without any issue if you start it from a terminal?

Ok so did some testing. This is since the latest dev channel update. 3.3.3 has the same issue.
But, yes, it works fine if started from an open terminal. I made a batch file on my desktop that I run in an open term and it works fine that way and only that way

If Godot is started with a .bat file similar to this, it will not "crash".

"Godot Engine.exe"
pause

Perhaps Windows Terminal is killing the Godot process prematurely instead of the program crashing, but I cannot be certain.

See also #54076.

As a workaround, try compiling Godot with windows_subsystem=gui on the SCons command line. This will disable the console entirely (which means you won't be able to toggle it back on).

I believe the issue is using the Windows Terminal as your default terminal application. If you set it to Windows Console Host it should work.
