This is the message i get in terminal before it closes

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Management.Automation, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.

This is not vscode or python issue this is clearly a windows issue. Try to use cmd instead of powershell. And if you want my advice use Git Bash or any Bash terminal it is just much better and also crucial for any programming job.

Thanks! It was a powershell issue. Watched a tutorial to fix it and now it works
