I found a working solution for this here: #2544

The following steps solved this for me:

Exit VS Code
Rename C:\Program Files\PowerShell to C:\Program Files\PowerShell_
Open VS Code and wait for PS terminal to start. It should start v 5.1 now.
Click on the PS version icon (bottom right), and Switch to: Windows PowerShell (x86)
Once loaded, click on the icon again and Switch to: Windows PowerShell (x64)
Rename back C:\Program Files\PowerShell to C:\Program Files\PowerShell
