I'm using VSCode for some time now and until today the Terminal was working as expected. But now I can't change the default Integrated Terminal. It's allways "cmd" no matter what I set up in the settings.

The settings.json seems to be fine:

{
"window.zoomLevel": -1,
"files.associations": {
    "*.testset": "feature"
},
"git.autofetch": true,
"C_Cpp.updateChannel": "Insiders",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
}

But every new terminal is still "cmd". Not "bash" or "PS".

    It works on my laptop... even with a space in the path. VSCode asked me if I really want to run bash.exe and each time I click on the +, a new bash window is created. – rene-d Apr 01 '19 at 14:18

The issue was in my workspace settings. "project.code-workspace"

{
    ....
    "settings": {
        "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "cmd.exe"
    }
}

By removing this line from the file, the problem was fixed. Now I can change the default Integrated Terminal.

most of the time this issue happens when new updates come, the easiest ways to solve this is:

  1. https://youtu.be/jpwfr6m50sI - here you will see how to change the default terminal
  2. uninstall your vscode install the previous one (if you don't know how to do this, follow this: How to downgrade vscode )

Dont hesitate to report to GitHub of vscode team as well as follow their documentaries
