Code Runner exits with code 3221225794 when trying to run Python code

- VS Code Version: 1.33.0 (system setup)
- OS Version: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
- Code Runner Version: 0.9.8

**Describe the bug**
I have a simple hello world app in Python. When I want to run it there's no expected output (print "hello") and Code Runner exits with code=3221225794:

[Running] python -u "c:\Users\xfilekomp\Desktop\python\hello.py"

[Done] exited with code=3221225794 in 0.063 seconds

I already opened a ticked at vscode queue but was directed to go here. I tried reinstalling vscode, Python and Code Runner extensions but nothing helped.

1. open python file
2. F1 > "Run Code"

[Running] python -u "c:\Users\xfilekomp\Desktop\python\hello.py"

[Done] exited with code=3221225794 in 0.063 seconds
