visual studio code – Why does a black window pop up when autometically activating a conda environment through Python extension in the VSCode terminal?
I have configured a conda environment and tried to use VSCode’s Python extension to enable automatic activation of the corresponding environment when opening the terminal. However, after some unknown updates to the Python extension, it now runs a command like (/path/to/conda/Scripts/activate) ; (conda activate $ENV) during activation. This command causes a black CMD window to pop up. Although it doesn’t affect functionality, it negatively impacts my experience.
Therefore, I am seeking help on the following:
- Is there a Python extension setting to customize the activation command to a simpler conda activate $ENV?
- If not, is there a VSCode setting to globally disable the black window popup?
- If neither exists, is there a way to revert the Python extension to the previous silent activation method?
- If none of the above are possible, how can I modify the extension’s source files to customize this activation command?
The following are some details about my runtime environment:
- Windows 11 Version 24H2 x64
- Visual Studio Code Version 1.105.0
- Python Extention Version 2025.16.0
I have tried modifying the extension.js file of the Python Extension, but it did not take effect.
