I have reinstalled Visual Studio Code and for some reason, when I do the Ctrl+Shift+` shortcut, instead of opening a terminal window inside VS Code, it's opening an external command window, which is very annoying.

Anyone knows what setting it is to get it back internally?

I tried File->Preferences->Settings->Terminal and then set the first option "Customizes what kind of terminal to launch." to integrated.

Is there any other setting I need to set?

  • You're not the only one, I just tried uninstalling and re-installing and it didn't fix this issue for me. – Sean Nov 05 '19 at 05:10
  • Turn off ConPTY integration in the Preferences/Settings. This is worked for me as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56267064/2462531 – Shailendra Madda Oct 22 '20 at 09:08

Happened the same with me. It was because I was using Legacy Console. To disable that, open any of your terminal (cmd or powershell) and right click to go to properties. Properties -> Options -> Use Legacy console (tick it off).

Turn off ConPTY integration in the

File->Preferences->Settings->conPTY->Uncheck it

This is worked for me as mentioned here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/56267064/2462531

Found this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/72033

Which is listed as a duplicate but someone was also kind enough to link to this: How do I get around the verified bug in Windows 1903 and launch the VSCode integrated terminal?

Which has a workaround as an answer, yay!

Here's some things you can check:

  1. Make sure you've set integrated on both the User and the Workspace settings, because the Workspace settings can override the User settings.

  2. Make sure you are using the correct keyboard shortcut. VS Code actually has a shortcut for opening the system's native console, which will open an external window:

    Make sure that your Ctrl+Shift+` is actually the shortcut for Create New Integrated Terminal:

  • sorry for the late reply @Gino but I tried all that and everything is how its set up in my application. Really puzzled as to why since I have another machine, same settings, but acting differently – JMon Oct 12 '19 at 07:51
