I just ran into the same problem. Try switching out of the powershell terminal to the windows terminal. Then restart. It should restart with the anaconda terminal. If that does not work you could:

First change the default terminal from within Visual Code to the CMD terminal instead of Powershell. Add the following code to a batch file.

call "c:\path\to\anaconda3\Scripts\activate"
