VS Code Terminal Not Allowing Typing

Question

My VS code terminal was working fine, until one day when I tried to work on a project, that was still open in VS code, my terminal didn't allow me to type any commands. I couldn't type anything. This is the screen that I get.

Answer 1

Okay, for those of you struggling with the same problem, I've managed to solve it by clicking on the drop-down menu that says powershell and changing it to cmd.

Answer 2

this happened to me and simply

1. close vs code
2. right click on it
3. run as administrator
4. open the terminal and it will work

this problem happened when I changed the default path of CMD
