when I try to print the help message of setlocal in the console it crashes.
windows version - 10.0.18363.752 x64, version of the cmd.exe - 10.0.18362.449
This could be a known issue but I'm seeing it now.
does this happen only to me?

Ok. Happens when i Use "legacy console" from the properties and the command help uses "press any key to continue"
Re: does this happen only to me?
I can't reproduce. Same Windows and cmd versions. Legacy console set, height set to 25 in order to get the "press any key" message. The console didn't crash.

Thankfully I cannot reproduce that behavior on my work machine - 10.0.16299.1747
I can try a more recent version (but not up-to-date) when I get a chance to try on my home machine.
The new console has some weird behavior. For example, some raster fonts are incompatible with certain code pages (the font is automatically changed when certain code pages are used). But I doubt this behavior is related.
