terminal: Windows Terminal hangs with DesktopWindowXamlSource

Windows Terminal doesn’t start after reboot. It was working on current machine, but suddenly stop working and now it run only a zero size window with “DesktopWindowXamlSource” caption, that hangs immediately after start. I can close it only from task manager. image (2)

It was working fine but after another windows update it just doesn’t start. I’ve rebooted my PC several times, deleted profile.json, try to install Preview terminal version - nothing of this doesn’t helps to me.

I’m located in secure local network and don’t have administrator rights on my PC.
