Microsoft Visual Studio Developer command prompt - visual-studio-code

After installing Microsoft Visual Studio community 2019 and choosing game development on installer, as well as microsoft visual studio code, i open the developer command prompt and there's an error already there. 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Then typing cl, i get the same error.

VS Code opened via VS Developer Command Prompt not recognizing 'cl'

As the title says, VS Code is not recognizing cl compiler although opened via Visual Studio 2022 Developer Command Prompt:
VS Code terminal:
I have tried using VS Code external terminal with %comspec% /k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"
which did not work.
Setting the comspec manualy in the terminal did solve the issue for the terminal instance:
But the C++ extension is still complaining about cl.exe:
cl.exe build and debug is only usable when VS Code is run from the Developer Command Prompt for VS.
I have never used VS Code for C++ before and I don't use windows for development at all so go easy on me.
What could be the reason for the issue and how it can be solved?
Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt must be elevated(run as Administrator) in order to correctly open VS Code with the needed permissions.
Running Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt as Admin solves the issue.
One solution that worked for me is to go directly in the setting for C++ extension and find compiler path setting, and manually set it to cl.exe path on your computer.

Did Windows 11 break Visual Studio Code

I 'upgraded' my Win10 system to Win11. Since then Visual Studio Code simply will not run my PowerShell scripts. What happens is the little 'Pause/Step-x/Restart/Stop' ribbon appears at the top. All I can do then is hit the Stop. I uninstalled & re-installed VS-Code to no avail. I deleted the .vscode folder in my user-profile, again to no avail.
I have both PowerShell 5.1.22000.65 Desktop and 7.1.3 Core installed on this system. VS Code is 1.58.2 (system setup). PowerShell extension is v2021.6.2.
The same scripts run happily in Windows Terminal, PowerShell command window and the ISE.
Any ideas please?
Thanks very much.
Update 13th August 2021: PowerShell scripts are now running as expected in Visual Studio Code.
VS Code is 1.59.0.
PowerShell Extension is 2021.8.0.
The most likely change to have enabled scripts to work again is the update to PowerShell 7.1.4 Core (was 7.1.3).

Error when launching Terminal in Visual Studio Code (terminated with exit code: 3221225477)

I'm a new user of Visual Studio Code and I came across the following error (see below) when trying to launch a Terminal inside VS Code.
The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" terminated with exit code: 3221225477.
I've tried fixing this by following the instructions on [Visual Studio Code Troubleshoot Terminal] (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/troubleshoot-terminal-launch) and also going through the Get Started documentation on the Visual Studio Code website.
I've also tried copying the error message and pasting on Google to search for a solution but only one relevant site came up here and I still could not find a fix.
I'm using a Dell XPS machine running Windows 10 (x64) and Visual Studio Code 1.51.0 (x64 UserSetup).
Can someone please assist? Thanks in advance!
Try the following:
If your computer is running powershell, turn it off.
Control Panel -> Programs -> Turn Windows features on of off
Search Window Powershell 2.0 -> Uncheckbox -> OK
Restart

If anyone knows how to start visual sourcesafe explorer, please write steps. I followed the steps mentioned in MSDN but it is giving error.

Did you successfully install Source Safe 2005? See:
How to: Install Visual SourceSafe on a Client Machine
How to: Install Visual SourceSafe on the Server Machine
Did you use the CD command to navigate to the directory for the Visual SourceSafe installation? That error message usually means you are not in the correct directory.
