@zadjii-msft Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know about that. Note though that per-process != per-buffer, and the two are not even incompatible with each other. I'd assert that per-buffer...

One way to fix this would be to enumerate all of the links to the file before starting the update, and after the rename for the settings file, repeat this...

As far as `PeekConsoleW`, note we have `PeekConsoleInputW`, but I think the problem Alex is pointing out is there's no way to peek (nonblocking), process events, then consume the events...
