Subject: VS Code Integrated Terminal Completely Blank (Tried All Fixes, Still Not Working)
Message:
Hello Microsoft Support,
I am facing a critical issue with Visual Studio Code on Windows 11.
The Integrated Terminal in VS Code opens, but it is always completely blank. No cursor, no text, no shell output. CMD and PowerShell both work normally outside VS Code.
A family of Microsoft suites of integrated development tools for building applications for Windows, the web, mobile devices and many other platforms. Miscellaneous topics that do not fit into specific categories.
Probably you will get more help here:
because Visual Studio Code is a different thing.
