Windows command prompt cannot start

When I run cmd in Win+R, Windows terminal starts, and instantly closes again. I do not have an AutoRun (checked registry and tried cmd /d). When I start an application that spawns a console, the application crashes as well.

I've tried both Windows Terminal and Windows Terminal preview. Both are set to go into WSL by default. When I start the Terminals directly, they sometimes crash, but do sometimes start correctly into WSL.

When the terminal does start, it works without any issues. I can open as many WSL and PowerShell tabs without it ever crashing. But as soon as I try to open a Command Prompt tab, it crashes again.

My Terminal config files (both are pretty much identical):

Update: When I successfully start Terminal as Administrator, PowerShell starts crashing also.
