Vscode uses wrong terminal when running python code

Question

I always used the "Run python file in terminal"-button in Vscode, but some recent update seems to have broken it for me. My default terminal is cmd, but when I use the button, it now uses powershell and does not activate the conda environment, which prevents my code from running.

When I open up a new terminal manually, it rightfully uses cmd, activates the env and python <path> works again. This is the output after pressing the run-button:

Does anyone know how to set the button to use cmd?

This is an old solution, which I used before. Vscode now flags these setting parameters as deprecated and tells me to change the setting above now. I tried the solution just to be sure, to no effect. — DoubleSteakHouse

I am wondering if it is a side affect of the known bug currently in the 1.60 release: stackoverflow.com/questions/69047142/… — Timothy G.

This is an issue of Python Extension. And it should be fixed tomorrow with the new release. You can refer to here for more details.

And have you add "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true, in the settings.json file? Because it's weird, as the cmd activates the environment while the Powershell does not.
