All text on the desktop, on the taskbar and Start Menu is gone from server 2019
All the text from windows server 2019 is gone. I am not able to do anything. I tried to open cmd and PowerShell, but I am not able to do anything because it's not showing anything. I also tried to open start but same issue.
