Summary

Powershell normally runs correctly in VS Code. Supposed to work. I have Powershell 7.6.x versions, so should be using that as much as possible.

Inizia da docs/troubleshooting.md e riproduci il problema in VS Code usando PowerShell 7.6.1, VS Code 1.118.0 ed extension 2025.4.0. Indaga sul motivo per cui l’avvio di un terminale o di PowerShell non funziona, raccogli i log mancanti e circoscrivi il problema all’extension; il lavoro è completato quando PowerShell si avvia correttamente in VS Code.
