Windows VS Code terminal takes about 5 seconds to return to command prompt after pressing Enter

I have tried all of the following:

• Reinstalled VS Code

• Cleared all roaming cache

• removed all extensions

• updated these settings.json

  {
    "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "GitBash",
    "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "auto",
    "terminal.integrated.allowChords": false,
    "terminal.integrated.drawBoldTextInBrightColors": false,
    "terminal.integrated.experimentalLinkProvider": false,
    "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off",
  }
  

Whenever I press Enter in the terminal it takes nearly 5 seconds to return to the command prompt.

I think this problem began when I had Docker running in the background and there was some lag and I hit Enter several times to put space between my last failed test. Now it's always taking so long. I am using Git Bash as my terminal. Git Bash terminal outside of VS Code is fast.

Why is VS Code using Git Bash as the terminal suddenly really slow?

Ok I solved the problem. Not sure why it went weird in the first place but this is it:

1. Backup vscode settings.json AND make a note of extensions installed
2. Uninstall vscode
3. Uninstall gitbash - removes C:\Program Files\Git
4. Delete all contents:

• C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\Code
• C:\Users\steve.vscode
• C:\Users\steve\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code

5. Instal GitBash - with unix options etc
6. Install Vscode 
   • Edit: settings.json C:\Users\steve\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\settings.json

  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "GitBash": { "path": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe", "icon": "terminal-bash" }
  },
  "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "GitBash",
  "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "auto",
  "terminal.integrated.allowChords": false,
  "terminal.integrated.drawBoldTextInBrightColors": false,
  "terminal.integrated.experimentalLinkProvider": false,
  "terminal.integrated.gpuAcceleration": "off",

• install extensions
• add folder to project IMPORTANT 
• cd to folder

Now the terminal is super fast !!!
