Answer 1

It looks like you are using Git Bash or a similar bash-like system for Windows. You need to run Scripts/activate.sh in this environment.

For PowerShell, use Scripts/activate.ps1 , and for cmd use Scripts/activate.bat .

Answer 2

What terminal are you using? Please create a new powershell or cmd terminal. Also you should not open the folder of the virtual environment as a workspace. Below are the correct steps.

1. Create a new folder as a workspace, then open this folder in vscode

2. Create a new terminal using the following command to create a virtual environment

   python -m venv.venv

3. Use the following command to activate the environment after creation

   .venv\scripts\activate

4. Another way is to select the interpreter of the virtual environment in the Select Interpreter panel after creating the environment

   

5. And then the new terminal will automatically activate the environment

   

You can read creating-environments and venv .
