I have been using Visual Studio Code (VSC) to write and debug my Python programs. Suddenly, when choosing the NEW TERMINAL option in the TERMINAL button (on the top menu bar) it splits the screen (as expected) but VSC locks up. Ten seconds later I see the following window:
As you can see the (yellow) cursor doesn't even show the current path as it should.
My only recourse is to press the CLOSE button.
I tried reinstalling VSC but got the same problem.
I am using Windows 10 Pro 22H2.
Thanks in advance to all who reply.

See a similar reported issue:
Try the workaround related to GPU.
By the way, VSC is not Visual Studio.
Viorel:
I never would have discovered that turning off "Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration" in VSC would resolve my issue, so thanks very much for making me aware of that!
Also, I am aware that VISUAL STUDIO CODE is not the same as VISUAL STUDIO, but I could not find a VSC option at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags . If there is a more appropriate URL I should have used to pose my question, please tell me so I'll know for the next time.
Once again, I very much appreciate your reply.

Cool! But since I got lucky finding you at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags/176/vs I'll try that as well (in addition to your 'Feedback Channels' list).
I wonder why MS doesn't have a separate entry for VSC in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/tags ?
I never would have thought to use the VSC setting: turn off "Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration" to resolve my issue, so thanks very much for your post.
