Hi all,
I keep having issues with the PowerShell extension in visual studio code. It doesn’t work and keeps giving me the message:
‘PowerShell extension has not finished starting up yet. Please try again in a few moments.’
I’m using a Macbook Air. I have closed and opened Visual Studio Code and uninstalled and installed the extension a couple of times with no success.
Anyone have a solution?
yes me too. I reinstalled VS and node.js and I keep getting the same issue.
Node.js keeps showing me this error when I re-install it!
Managed to go into the extension and use an older version of PowerShell and it works now.
Hello,
Im having an issue after reformatting my drive an re-installing VS , if anyone can take a look , would be appreciated.

Hey @Javier_Flores, hope you are well.
Have you installed nodejs and git? before VS ?
https://nodejs.org/
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Try to install both of them, then VS code
