Environment

Windows 10 - 19041

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install of current version with default settings.json file.

Expected behavior

Being able to type commands.

Actual behavior

No normal input accepted from keyboard. Same behavior for cmd, powershell, and powershellcore.

On-screen keyboard also does not work.

Pasting from clipboard works.

If I hold 'alt' while typing Command Prompt will register input from the keyboard but only while I'm holding 'alt'.
If I hold 'alt' while typing PowershellCore will register input from the keyboard but selecting any numbers changes the prompt to "digit-argument:"
If I hold 'alt' while typing Powershell will register some input, no letters but ;'-=/ are accepted and selecting any numbers changes the prompt to "digit-argument:"

I tried to remove and install the wt preview version also, same thing in both regular and preview.

I have no idea what to try next here. This appears to be a known issue with no solution.
