Just a heads up, and I've done zero troubleshooting on this, but every machine I've upgraded to 1.101 has trouble loading the PowerShell terminal inside VS Code. I'll probably spend time on it later, but for now, I'm back to 1.100.3.

Older versions available here, in case anyone needs them.


Update: It seems to be related to having a profile script. Normally when the terminal loads, you should see something like

Powershell:
PowerShell Extension v2025.0.0
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/vscode-powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS C:\Users\LadyGodiva>

If I have a profile.ps1, I never get that last line with the prompt, even if all of the contents of that file are commented out.

Update 2: It was this setting in my settings.json: powershell.powerShellDefaultVersion": "Windows PowerShell (x64)
