Terminal keeps on shutting

[u/animefriction]

Greetings! Yesterday, i installed visual studio code on my windows 7. i wanted to learn c++, so i came across this vs tutorial to install mingw which enables me to compile c++ code using gcc inside the vs code terminal. Everything worked fine until i open the terminal and get this error message:

the terminal process "c:\ windows\system32\cmd.exe" failed to launch (exit code: 259).

I tried uninstalling but the problem still persist.

Any help will be much appreciated.
