On my machine, with -q --no-site-file and no display-specific resource
in HKLM\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs (I mean, no Emacs.Font, Emacs.Fontset-X,
Emacs.Geometry, etc.).

(insert (w32-select-font)) =>

-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-13-97-96-96-c-*-iso10646-1

Copy&paste that into HKLM\S\G\E\Emacs.Font

emacs -q --no-site-file

The splash screen appears. If I do anything at all that causes a
redisplay (moving or resizing the frame, minimizing and restoring it,
whatever), the display is garbled.

I'm including a .jpg image of what I get.
