1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P to show all the commands.

5. Choose Command Prompt (cmd.exe)
6. Click the Delete icon in the shell panel to delete an existing terminal.
7. Press Ctrl + ' (or View> Terminal in the menu) to open a new terminal panel.

Answer 2

Add these user preferences to your file - Prefernces - User Preferences

 // Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings { "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe", } 

Answer 3

open settings (ctrl + comma)

find terminal.integrated.shell.windows

replace its value with C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe

Answer 4

I also ran into this problem when I clicked on the terminal. It showed Powershell, but not the command line, so I took the following steps to get the command line in Visual Studio:

1. View → Command Palette → Toggle Integrated Terminal
2. Open a terminal using the keyboard shortcut ctrl + ' or View → terminal
3. Write the command as cmd.exe and run
