tried uninstall and then installing, but same issue

Any suggestions

Answer 1

Might be a bit late, but I run into the same issue today.
I was able to solve it by removing the .minttyrc file in the user folder C:/Users/YourName/.minttyrc.

I tried to increase the width of the terminal window and ended up with a crazy number of columns:

Columns=100000000
Rows=58
ScrollbackLines=1874919424

Answer 2

The default column size is too big.

I can resolve the issue by decreasing the column size:

Edit this file:

C:\Users\<UserName>\.minttyrc

Edit columns from:

Columns=80000

To smaller size (120 is default windows 10 command prompt column size):

Columns=120
