Can't change terminal window size in C# Console

Question

I'm trying to use Console.SetWindowSize() to change the window size of the Console, for a C# Console application. In previous versions of Visual Studio or Windows, this would work. Now it does not.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In Windows 11, Visual Studio 2019, create a new C# Console App (.NET Framework) application

2. Add the code to the main function:

Console.SetWindowSize(10, 10);
Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
Console.ReadLine();

3. Run the code. I get the following result.

I've seen this answer which suggests changing the terminal output mode. I tried setting the terminal output using Enviroment > Terminal from the settings search bar in Visual Studio 2019, to either Developer Command Prompt or Ubuntu WSL terminals, but neither allowed resizing the Console window.

Is there a solution?

Please adjust the following settings

The following is the console output

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WindowHeight = 20;
        Console.WindowWidth = 20;
        Console.WriteLine("Test 1");
        Console.WriteLine("Max height: " + Console.LargestWindowHeight.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("Max width: " + Console.LargestWindowWidth.ToString());
        Console.ReadKey();
        Console.Clear();
        Console.SetWindowSize(10, 10);
        Console.WriteLine("Test 2");
        Console.WriteLine("Max height: " + Console.LargestWindowHeight.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine("Max width: " + Console.LargestWindowWidth.ToString());
        Console.ReadKey();
        Console.Clear();
    }
