Thanks for this. Now I feel bit stupid that I was not able to deal with this. I’m a still bit new with vscode though.

No worries, getting the right PowerShell is actually complicated, and given that we share a UI with the rest of VSCode and the extensions, it can be tricky to navigate it all.

It seems we could improve documentation here I think.
