VSCode Powershell integrated terminal hangs when starting - powershell

I am using VSCode version 1.12.2 in Windows 10 x64 build 16193. I am trying to debug Powershell in VSCode, but I cannot get the PowerShell Integrated Terminal working. Every time I started the terminal, here's what I see:
And then it hangs in that stage. I can still debug, start, step in, step out..., but I cannot view my variable or run any expression.
My VSCode is using powershell x64 here:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\WINDOWS\\Sysnative\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"

So this is a known issue with this version of windows 10. Workaround here: https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/742

It's possible it's getting stuck on something while loading your profile(s). Try adding this to your settings to skip this:
"powershell.enableProfileLoading": false

I have had a similar problem, it seems. I cannot be sure it is the same, but when I would "load a file with VSCode" (user installer confirmed, system installer unconfirmed), it would hang. The following avenues tested:
Double-clicking on a PS1 file (the association to Code being made)
Starting VsCode empty and then loading the file
Starting VsCode from the command-line with a file-designation parameter
Using the --verbose switch, I got a listing which lead me to believe that VsCode seemed to be checking on updates using NPM (I could be wrong here).
Whatever the underlying problem, I did a lot of prodding and probing, and the cure I found was this.
Delete the directory called C:\Users\YourUserId\.vscode.
This directory is rather large, is not wiped by software removal, and may be corrupted apparently. After deleting it, the problem disappeared.

Elixir: VS Code ExUnit cannot find Mix

I cannot load or run my tests, from within VS Code.
I'm a new user to Elixir, and to VS Code. I'm running Lubuntu 21.10 (Impish). I've downloaded Erlang/OTP 25 (.deb), and Elixir 1.14 (precompiled binary in /usr/share/elixir), and can get anything I need running in a Bash terminal. Again, in a standard QTerminal window,
erl, iex, mix, elixir, etc. all work fine.
In VS Code, however, I get some errors. I feel stupid, but I'm coming from Sublime Text, so please forgive me.
In the left pane of VS Code, ExUnit shows an error (red):
Clicking on this error gives me this, on the bottom right pane. The command line options, passed to mix test, seem to be the default configuration:
This result is bizarre to me, because I can open the integrated terminal, execute /bin/sh, and then run the exact mix test line that's displayed:
/usr/share/elixir/bin has been added to my PATH variable, in ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, and /etc/environment.
However, I am further confused by all tests being excluded, and wonder if there's some connection to the core issue:
Note that I can run my tests just fine, using different command line options. I've tried adding tags, but that didn't fix the problem.
I tried Google'ing this, and played around with my settings. Here is what I have configured in the "User" settings.json, and I made sure nothing overrides this in "Workspace" settings:
Changing the useNativeTesting setting doesn't solve the problem.
On another (?) note, I get a "failed to run elixir" upon VS Code startup:
Again, I have no problem running commands from a Linux terminal, or from a terminal within VS Code.
Plot twist: If I remove the precompiled Elixir 1.14, and downgrade to an older version, via apt, the problem goes away. But Lubuntu 21.10 doesn't offer Elixir 1.14, and I'm really into using the new dbg() feature.
But for now, I cannot load or run my tests, from within VS Code, apparently because Mix cannot be found.
Thanks to Daniel Imms, from the VS Code team, for answering my question on Twitter:
"Try moving where ever you init mix and elixir (.bashrc?) into your .bash_profile and then logging out and in again or restarting. I'm guessing it's in your bashrc which doesn't run in non-interactive sessions like in tasks."

VS Code Powershell "←]633;P;IsWindows=True"

I am working on a web application using Angular in Vs code.
I ran into some errors while I am fixing them in the process my vscode is bricked after a couple of minutes it return to its normal state but some weird beep sounds raised so i restarted my Laptop.
When I opened VS code again beep sound repeated and my powershell is showing some weird text
So, I thought the error this is due to some misconfigurations in my vscode and I uninstalled VScode ,deleted all related data
After installation the same weird text with beep sounds appeared again
The weird text
←]633;P;IsWindows=True
633;A633;P;Cwd=D:\user\website\quizPS D:\chiru\website\quiz> 633;B
←]633;C```
As #meganrogge said in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/160419 setting terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled to false fixes this
I had in the settings Terminal > Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty (setting ID terminal.integrated.windowsEnableConpty) disabled. After re-enabling it again (which is the default) the problem went away for me.
Do you have scala sbt installed? it does not work well with ms power shell. On Windows it can be used via git bash for example. Go to your user vs code settings and adjust so following terminal integration will be active
"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows":{"Git Bash":{"path":"C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"}, },
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash",
the close your ms power shell tab in vs code terminal panel and add new bash one.
looks like there is a problem with powershell so i reinstalled my powershell it worked
I solved in this way:
Ctrl + Mayus + P
I faced the same issue. I uninstalled VS Code and installed again and the issue was resolved for me

VSCode on Linux Mint, integrated terminal not able to type anything

Hi I'm running Linux Mint 19 and I have just installed vscode using the snapd package manager. I've not used vscode on linux before as my usual editor is emacs. However, on a fresh new install of vscode, the integrated terminal does not work, there is just a non blinking cursor in the top left of the screen, but no prompt and no keyboard strokes are registering. This appears to be a common problem as there are a lot of posts about it if googled, but they are all for Windows versions and none of the solutions that I'm able to try do anything. I've tried to open a new terminal window, but the same thing happens I just get two terminal windows that I now cannot use. I've also tried checking the box that says Code-runner: Run In Terminal, but that does nothing either. What can I do to get this to work please, I looks to me like it is just not connected to either a bash or Zsh(which I normally use). Any help on this would be appreciated.
Instead of starting vscode with its default shell script (usually located on /usr/share/code/bin/code), the integrated terminal only works for me when starting it directly from the compiled binary (typically found on /usr/share/code/code, which is the same as the launcher created by the installer:
/usr/share/code/code --no-sandbox --unity-launch %F
While I searched for a solution in the past I've also noticed that lots of folks solved similar problems just by adding --disable-gpu flag, so might be worth checking out as well.

vscode is not lauching for me on windows 7

I downloaded the latest ZIP file of VSCode for windows from VSCode website.
Unzipped it and tried running the Code.exe from it. It does nothing no crashing message juts output nothing.
I tried running Code.exe from command prompt [after CD to the directory where I have unzipped it], nothing happens, no out put.
Then I did some googling to do more troubleshooting and found out I need to run Code.exe or bin\code.cmd with --help and --verbose command.
No output on command line.
I am totally confused and don't know how do I make VScode work on my windows 7 machine or how do I troubleshoot why its not working.
I have appropriate .Net Framework installed [the one suggested by the VSCode website].
I have also tried installer , with all above debugging steps , same outcome as above.
I checked the code.exe in task manager to see if its running in background, nothing in there too.
What do I do ?
Check if the process is running in Task Manager.
Check for "code.exe". If it is running, then end all instances, and try again.
Otherwise, try opening event log, in Application or System. Look for errors or warnings which may have been logged and give some insight into why Code didn't open.
So guys seems like new version of VSCode has this problem.
Try downloading an older version of VSCode and do not upgrade it once its installed.
After I installed : V 1.18.1 , its working fine.

VSCode ran once on install, won't run or install again

I'm running this on Windows 7 SP1 with most (if not all) current patches. I have administrative permissions on this machine.
The first time I ran VSCodeSetup.exe, it ran the installer for several minutes then launched the actual application.
I got called into a surprise meeting, so I closed it thinking I'd look at it again later.
However, when I returned to my computer and tried to launch it, I found no evidence that it was actually installed... no desktop icon, no entry in the start menu, no Explorer integration...
I tried running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but all it does it show the installer screen for a split second, which then vanishes.
Since then, I've tried the suggestions outlined in VSCode Installation Failed - Failed to extract installer to install the application, even going so far as to run Update.exe --uninstall followed by running VSCodeSetup.exe again, but nothing has worked.
I even tried disabling my antivirus software and running the installer again, to no avail.
Does anyone know what I can do to get VSCode working again?
According to the comments and answers to Install VSCode in a specific folder, Visual Studio Code installs itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code on Windows.
While I'm not sure why it didn't register itself with Explorer, I can at least create a shortcut to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\bin\code.cmd (with icon %LOCALAPPDATA%\Code\app.ico) to get it working again.
Or remove the directory entirely and run VSCodeSetup.exe to install it again, which still doesn't add Explorer integration... but this time at least the PATH now has code in it.
On windows VSCode is installed as Code.exe and its located in your
C:\Users\<windows-user>\AppData\Local\Code\app-<version-number>\Code.exe
or
C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Code\app-0.5.0\Code.exe
