how to stop VSCode terminal to open a new cmd window in each command?

Question

On window 10 with vscode -v 1.51.1 terminal with cmd.

After writing the command and hitting the enter key... a new window is open and close... so, if I'm trying to check --version the window is already close and i can't see results.. or if i having an error - i cant see it if the window is close... so for now: i use print screen..

how can i get the process output run on the same window... on the VSCode terminal?

its happened on most commands (--version is just an example) — user769371, Nov 13 '20 at 18:19

Turn off ConPTY integration in the

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

Integrated terminal in visual studio code is opening externally and not internally
