Can confirm that this is happening to me as well. This is despite having the following in my config:

    "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows":{
        "Git Bash": {
            "path": "C:/Program Files/Git/git-bash.exe"
        }
    },
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash"

All my tasks also now run in powershell and I can't seem to have them run in any other shell. Definitely not a critical issue (in my case at least) but quite annoying. :)

[ALee-DF]

Same thing is happening to me since the latest update in #132170

I can still switch terminals, but it's definitely an annoying qualilty of life bug.

[meganrogge]

Any errors in dev tools?

[ALee-DF]

I get this error on start up. Not sure if it's relevant though.

I get no errors when switching terminals or assigning a default terminal.

[SamuelQuinones]

+1 Was going to make an issue about this, ever since the update to 1.60 no matter how I configure the settings, it will always launch powershell,

I tried nulling out the other profiles like the documentation says but to no avail:

{
  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "Git Bash": null
  }
}

[Tyriar]

FYI to the conspiracy theorists, if we wanted to sneakily push powershell, introducing an annoying bug probably wouldn't be the way to do it. Ways we help powershell are by improving the product, not making it worse, eg:

• Collaborate on the extension API with the pwsh team
• Improve the pwsh experience by adding things like custom keybindings when the shell is detected as powershell
• Switched the default fallback on Windows from cmd to pwsh (this bug was caused because we couldn't find the right profile so it reverted to the fallback).

We would do the same for any shell though, I use bash primarily myself.

Just checking in for an update, no pressure. Has this patch been pushed yet or pending?

[Tyriar]

Release will likely happen tomorrow, got delayed to push some other fixes in. We'll update #132426 as we're releasing.

[tomshaffner]

Again!???

[marcinkubica]

I'm still getting powershell terminal open itself when opening vscode and some .ps1 files from last session

[Tyriar]

and some .ps1 files from last session

@marcinkubica do you have the powershell extension installed? If not please create a new issue with more details as this one is definitely fixed.

Hi, I do have PowerShell extension installed.

[Tyriar]

@marcinkubica oh ok, well it opens its own terminal when you open a ps1 file

[ramiro-e]

I just got the 1.60.1 update and it has been fixed

[WORMSS]

Confirmed 1.60.1 fixed this for me. (Though, I had to re-set my default)

[mahendra2448]

just add this to the settings.json , hope this helps someone
