Windows 10 Text Not Visible

Windows

In powershell under W10, when I type cd 'xxxx', the 'xxxx' are not visible on the screen (the cursor moves but the characters print in the same color as the background). When I type the first double quote then the at the beginning of the line turns red and when I type final quotes it turns back to white and the rest of the line is visible.

Only happens in the desktop/win 32 environment.

I did not mean for it to say it won't work, it just wasn't tested by Dell so it makes it harder.

I would also try to update the BIOS if there is any.
