VISUAL STUDIO CODE not working

Question

I use VISUAL STUDIO CODE as my Python IDE. Now, when I click on the TERMINAL button (on the top toolbar) to request a NEW terminal screen, VSC freezes, (perhaps it cannot find the TERMINAL program?) After 10 seconds, an error message is issued requesting that I restart VSC or shut it down.

It used to work without a problem but now I cannot run any code.

I reinstalled VSC and the same problem persists.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Hi Bobhe,

The links you gave me are for "VISUAL STUDIO" but my question is for "VISUAL STUDIO CODE".

Since these 2 products are different, is there a different forum I must go to?
Thanks for your reply!
