Could you share your settings.json file/?

It's highly sus that we get this and #13809 in the same week - @leet0rz do you have an Nvidia GPU by any chance?

I do have a laptop with a NVIDIA GPU, one of those laptops that switches GPUs from integrated to NVIDIA depending on what you run. I've tried to force the NWT through NVIDIA but no change. I also had the problem with block text problem with alacritty but I just changed to the NVIDIA gpu in the settings and it fixed itself. So that should not be an issue anymore also the terminal was working previously and all of a sudden it stopped working. I've also tried to remove, repair and reinstall it, no change.

Would you mind enabling the "Use Software rendering" setting in Windows Terminal? That might do the trick.
