When trying to do a local build in a PowerShell 7.6.5 session after running
Import-Module .\build.psm1
Whilst running Start-PSBootstrap -Scenario All -Force it gets into the Install-DotNet function and during this it ends up changing the console font & size as shown below, which is a jarring and unwanted experience.
It seems to b connected to the use of calling out to PowerShell.exe & Start-NativeExecution form initial stepping through the code

# dotnet-install.ps1 uses APIs that are not supported in .NET Core, so we run it with Windows PowerShell |

$fullPSPath = Join-Path -Path $env:windir -ChildPath "System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" |

$fullDotnetInstallPath = Join-Path -Path (Convert-Path -Path $PWD.Path) -ChildPath $installScript |

$psArgs = @('-NoLogo', '-NoProfile', '-File', $fullDotnetInstallPath, '-Version', $Version) |

Note: this does not occur in WinTerminal & is only seems to be in conhost (I've not tested elsewhere)
Also, annoyingly this doesn't happen every time I attempt a build either & this is the 2nd time I've dug into it for this to resolve whilst creating this issue.
Raising for awareness as it's unlikely this will be fixed with it being in conhost only & not being easily repeatable either.
Expected behavior
Console doesn't change unnecessarily
Actual behavior
Fonts change & other unwanted behaviours
