All text and symbols path in powershell is unreadable

I have installed oh-my-posh but cant figure out why my fonts (I presume) are not working.

My profile.ps1 only contains
oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression

I installed meslo using oh-my-posh font install

My terminal settings file is and I have installed MesloLGM Nerd Font (If its present in my font picker is it possible to have done this wrong somehow?)

I have run oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:/Users/msp/ohmyposh.json' | Invoke-Expression w with the following file

@msp-incom this is due to encoding. If you can't change your computer's encoding, it is advised to change the encoding of PowerShell altogether. We do this also within oh-my-posh, but depending on the device configuration, it doesn't always work.

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8
oh-my-posh init pwsh | Invoke-Expression

I would presume you mean I should add that to the profile, but when I do that I just get

@msp-incom aha, you're running in constrained language mode. In that case you'll need to change this in the Windows settings (I have no idea where to be honest).

Thats too bad, can see it works if I open with administration rights, so year its probably my organization limiting attack vectors :/

But thanks for the guidance
