Using PowerLevel10k with ZSH, neofetch and similar commands fail to render thus giving random characters in output

[ZeroDiscord]

My .zhrc file: ( please find the issue details below the file )

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"

Expected Output:

Actual Output [ upon opening zsh ]:

[romkatv]

Move clear && neofetch to the top.

[ZeroDiscord]

Move clear && neofetch to the top.

Tried, this displays neofetch properly yet it clears and shows the same random chars within 0.5-1 s

Edit:

Solved:

Issue caused by instant prompt & no delay add:

sleep 1 && neofetch
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=quiet
