• VS Code Version: 1.90.0
• OS Version: Windows 11

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.90.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Updated to include the .revision part of the version number as the triage bot was confused. This issue only occurred after updating to the very latest version of VSCode.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. Only started happening after updating to 1.90.0. On multiple machines.

I am experiencing this problem also specifically in the integrated terminal with powershell. Opening outside of vscode works fine.
