Windows 10: VS Code terminal won't open; cmd.exe crashes on title bar right-click

Two issues I'm having that are likely related.


1. Visual Studio Code Insiders can't open the terminal.


The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" failed to launch exit code: 3221225794.


Microsoft's help page says that I should "open cmd.exe from the start menu, right-click the title bar, go to Properties and under the Options tab, uncheck Use legacy console." But when I open cmd.exe...


2. Command Prompt crashes when I right-click the title bar.


Event Viewer tells me:

Hi Jan,

I Would suggest you follow the steps below and see if it helps:

Step 1: On the Search bar type “cmd”. Right Click on the Command Prompt option and select Run as Administrator. (If prompted for a password, type the password and click Allow)

Step 2: DISM TOOL

• Type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
  and click Enter.
• Type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
  and click Enter.
• Type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  and click Enter.
