Unable to sign into shell

I've downloaded MySQL 8.0.28 and I'm running it under Windows 11 on my own PC.
While I can get into Workbench and work with that I don't seem to be able to sign into the shell.
I'm using the Tutorial in the MySQL documentation and when I type in
-u root I get a syntax error.
When I use the '\help' command it just returns the word help.
The prompt has MySQL with a white background followed by JS with a yellow background.

Below is a copy of the shell showing these issues.

Any help welcome in telling me where I'm going wrong would be welcome.

Type '\help' or '\?' for help; '\quit' to exit.
