Can't get output from serial monitor

This is during the serial upload, which is perfectly normal. Starts slow, then switches to a faster baud rate for upload.

Can you show a scerenshot of the serial monitor after you press “Start” with the correct COM device and baud rate?

Does it work when using an external serial monitor program like HTerm - der-hammer for the same COM port and baud rate (plus line break at LF/CR setting)
