terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows not working on startup

[hosseini44444]

Issue Type: Bug

Hello!

current behavior:

From when I upgraded to this version when I set the default terminal to git bash and start VScode, for less than 2 seconds it shows starting... in the terminal's drop-down menu and then opens PowerShell but after that when I add a new terminal git bash opens which is the default.

Expected behavior:

I expect git bash which I have set as my default terminal profile to be opened at startup and afterward.

VS Code version: Code 1.56.0 (cfa2e21, 2021-05-04T22:09:06.405Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18363

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Git Bash doesn't show up in select default terminal menu when already installed. (#118705)

I have problems with this as well on linux (ubuntu 20.04 LTS), it looks like if you simply start the terminal too quickly after a vscode project is loaded, then the defaultProfile is not loaded. If I exit the first terminal and start another one, the terminal profile is correctly loaded.

Which affects when a terminal is restored from a previous session which is also too quickly.

If I simply wait until most/all of my extensions are loaded and their respective indicators appear in the status bar, then the profile is correctly loaded - even on startup.

@Tyriar when we can expect the next VSCode patch release? Every time, I open VSCode default bash terminal is not opened and on Windows Powershell is opened!

In the meantime the settings terminal.integrated.shell.{os} and terminal.integrated.shellArgs.{os}, though deprecated, work fine.

Yes this is a good workaround for now. It's happening because the "fallback profile" is evaluated on the extension host which takes some time to startup. I expect this to get fixed when we tackle this debt item #122534
