Can you explain what you mean? If you are using a virtual environment then the python in the terminal will be the python from the virtual environment. If you are using global environments, then the python will be based on what is set by your PATH environment variable.

[krigjo25]

Well I was expecting at last the internal terminal would point to the internal virtual environment as I did get the prompt "(.venv) D://Projects/python", but even when the venv was pointed manually it didn't work at all. I didn't touch any system environments either. But it could be a windows glitch, also, as I re created the environment and re-installed Visual studio Code the issue were solved.

So I'm not sure how to reproduce the bug unless installing python after codevs and environment creation.
