I am facing an issue where VS Code becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to open the terminal. Here’s what I have tried so far:
Reset VS Code settings (via settings.json)
Ran code --disable-extensions but still not responding
Tried code --disable-gpu but no change
Fully uninstalled VS Code, deleted all related folders, and reinstalled
Checked PowerShell (powershell works fine in cmd)
Ran VS Code as Administrator
Even after all these attempts, VS Code crashes whenever I try to open the terminal (Ctrl + ~).
System Details:
OS: Windows 10 (Version 10.0.19045.5371)
VS Code Version: (latest stable, fresh install)
Since VS Code freezes, I checked Developer Console (Ctrl + Shift + I) but couldn't find anything useful.
Has anyone faced a similar issue? How can I fix this?
A possible solution, see these issues: Opening terminal crashes the Application on newer version(1.97.0) and VSCode freezes when opening a terminal. Apparently a bug in v1.97. Already fixed - I assume there will a v1.97.x update pushed pretty soon.
There is a suggested "fix":
Disable this setting: Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration
