Issue Type: Bug

Whenever I open the VSCode Terminal, it stays open for about 20-30 seconds, and then closes automatically. Always. By itself, automatically.

"The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe" was terminated with exit code: 4294967295."

VS Code version: Code 1.67.1 (da15b6f, 2022-05-06T12:37:03.389Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000 Restricted Mode: No

I've tried this on GitHub. (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/149846)

At first, the issue was fixed. But rn is not working anymore.

Can you help me please?

I had this issue on my Visual Studio Code as well and solved it by reading this Github issue opened on it's project:

Check in VSCode settings that the shell you are using (If it's OSX) is set to /bin/sh:

I had simular issue. Solve it by just rebooting VS Code.

I solved it by switching my default terminal to Powershell. I suspect that you can also use c:\windows\sysWow64\cmd.exe to access the 64bit terminal shell. I suspect that VSCode has issues with 32/64 bit differences.

I was also experiencing the same problem here the whole day, I fixed it by running this command on my VS Code terminal:

  • First press F1 on your VS Code
  • type Terminal: Select Default Profile
  • then select Command Prompt.

it worked normally afterward for me
