Environment

Windows version: 19041.572
Windows Terminal version: 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

Launch Terminal
Attempt to type anything

Expected behavior

Characters show up on the screen.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens. It's as if I have no keyboard attached.

Additional info

Using Windows Remote Desktop.
Right-click on mouse pastes text.
No "de-bloating" software installed (neither MSI Afterburner).
"Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Service" is enabled and running.
I've read #4448, and as it suggests, I'm filling out a new issue.
