What is the difference between [pwsh] and [Powershell Integreted Console] on VS Code?

However, given that PowerShell 7 has its own release cycle that is independent of Windows and instead aligns with the equally install-on-demand .NET (Core) (which, however, comes bundled with PowerShell 7), shipping with Windows may never happen.

    [*] From the linked docs: "This feature looks at a few well-known paths on different operating systems to discover install locations of PowerShell. If you installed PowerShell to a non-typical location, it might not show up initially in the Session Menu. You can extend the session menu by adding your own custom paths." If you use one of the official installers, the PowerShell extension should find your installation.
