Arch Installation Script not working (feddit.de)

I want install Arch on a new laptop(that cureently runs Windows 10) I just bought. Since I don't want to run through the installation manually(again) I want to use the installation script. Unfortunately I have a small problem. I can configure everything as I want, except the drives. When I click enter on the tab for the drives it opens a black screen with nothing in it. I can write in it anything I want, but commands don't work. It is also impossible to exit this window except if I use ctrl+c. Does anyone knows how to fix this?

First are you using the latest arch iso then get that then check if there are updates for archinstall and is windows fully shutdown i.e do you have fast startup enabled or not if so disable it .
