I use Visual Studio Code 1.56.2 with Windows 10. I have a simple Python file that just outputs hi. When I try to run it in VSCode using the integrated terminal which I changed to cmd, it adds the character & before the python command
This is the terminal when I run the program:
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19043.1023]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\khalr\Python Projects>& C:/Users/khalr/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39/python.exe "c:/Users/khalr/Python Projects/Test/main.py"
& was unexpected at this time.
C:\Users\khalr\Python Projects>
I also noticed that the terminal looks different since this started happening. There used to be icons on the top right beside the X. There used to be a garbage can icon among others.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.
