How do I get around the verified bug in Windows 1903 and launch the VSCode integrated terminal?

OK, worked through this one in VSCode repo issues.

For now, until it's fixed, turn off ConPTY integration in the User Settings.

To change the integrated terminal on Windows, you just need to change the terminal.integrated.shell.windows line:

  1. Open VS User Settings (Preferences > User Settings). This will open two side-by-side documents.
  2. Check if "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" has value "C:\\Bin\\Cmder\\Cmder.exe" setting to the User Settings document on the right.
  3. Remove this line.

Ctrl + ~ will now open integrated terminal of VSCode.

If the above solution doesn't work then can you try below values and check if it works for you:

// Command Prompt

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe"

// PowerShell

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"

// Git Bash

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"

// Bash on Ubuntu (on Windows)

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe"

From the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P), use the View: Toggle Integrated Terminal command.

Try custom shortcut:

[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+`",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal"
    }
]

The issue now says use legacy console. To change the setting open a cmd prompt. Right click the title to bring up properties.

Then Uncheck 'Use legacy console'
