Ubuntu terminal not taking keyboard input while asking for user password

I am using Ubuntu on Windows 10. I have the Windows subsystem for Linux flag turned on (evidenced by the following image).

Recently, I tried to change my Unix password.

At this point, the terminal is not taking any keyboard input. Then I tried from the command prompt as well as the PowerShell but no avail.

I want to know the reason behind this problem and how to fix it. Thank you for paying attention to my post.

Everything is working as expected.

The terminal isn't printing what you're typing to prevent shoulder surfing.

Type your password and confirm with Enter.

Linux terminal doesn't show the dots. It never does, you just have to type your password en press enter.

It looks like this when it works :

emile@emile-Aspire-E1-470P:~$ su
Password:
root@emile-Aspire-E1-470P:/home/emile#
