Terminal Python version & Interpreter version are different

[mfxrguson]

Hello, I am trying to switch the python version running in terminal to 3.10 from 3.12 and it isn't working. I've changed the interpreter and even the default interpreter filepath to version 3.10 but 3.12 is still running in terminal. I've restarted VS Code/terminal also.

I don't use Windows or Anaconda, only venvs on Linux, but you might look at a couple of settings:

• Python > Terminal: Activate Env In Current Terminal
• Python > Terminal: Activate Environment

I think that if you enable the first, the current terminal have the selected environment activated on it as soon as you select it. If it's not enabled, you will either need to enable it manually with conda activate myenv or open a new terminal via the + button. If the second setting is enabled, you should get your selected environment in all new terminals.

Terminals are not updated to use the Python version for Global interpreters, even outside VS Code. Try creating an environment using "Python: Create Environment" command and we activate those environment automatically in the terminal.
