There is a workaround which is to enable Legacy mode for the Windows shell.

To do so, open a command prompt window (cmd.exe), right click on the title, then select Properties. At the bottom, check Use legacy console. Confirm the dialog. Go back to the IDE and launch a new Terminal. It should work.
