Black window with "less", "nano", or "screen" - WSL - Ubuntu 20.04.3 lTS

I'm using Windows Subsystem Linux with Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on my laptop (OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC).It worked flawlessly until a few days ago when I suddenly could not use less, nano, screen etc. anymore. Whenever I use one of these commands, I just see a blinking dash in the top left corner but no text is visible (image 2). I can get back to the normal console when pressing the respective keys (e.g. "q" for less, or ctrl+a+d for screen) and then I can see the content from the previous command (image 3).

So there seems to be something broken but if possible I would want to prevent uninstalling and reinstalling the whole WLS, since I would also loose my conda environments etc.

Thanks for your help & let me know if I missed to add some info!
