VSCode Terminal w/ or w/o Python Extension fails to Output anything, even error's

[cikent]

Description:

VSCode fails to execute my Python scripts when I use the right-click context menu option: "Run Python File in Terminal". Seems like the Terminal just fails to work entirely, its completely non-interactive and I get the same result when NO extensions are installed.

The scripts run just fine in Powershell without issue.

Pre-conditions & Setup:

• Windows 7 OS
• Service Pack 1
• Python Version v3.7.4
• VS Code v1.37.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VSCode
2. Navigate to desired Python file via Explorer
3. Select file
4. Right-click on body of file -> choose option: "Run Python File in Terminal"

Actual Result:

• VS Code Terminal populates
• Terminal type reflects Python
• Terminal display is completely blank
• Problems Tab reads: No problems have been detected in the workplace so far.
• Output Tab reads: Your code has been rated at 10.00/10 (previous run: 10.00/10, +0.00)
• Same exact file executes just fine from Powershell with the following command: python %filename%

Other troubleshooting actions I've already performed (multiple times):

1. Deleting the Python extension and re-downloading it multiple times (x4 or 5 times) from "C:\Users<userdir>.vscode\extensions"
2. Uninstalling and re-installing VSCode
3. Deleting content from the following directories after VSCode uninstall before re-install:

%USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Code

4. Upgrade my Python version from 3.7.0 to 3.7.4
5. Updated VSCode from install of v1.37.0 to v1.37.1
6. Restart Computer

Notes:
Again, I want to emphasize, this still occurs even without ANY extension's installed (i.e. default install). It's just completely non-interactive.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
