PowerShell Integrated Console does not appear at all. When I hit F5 to run random .ps1 script, I got error "Couldn't find a debug adapter descriptor for debug type 'PowerShell' (extension might have failed to activate)".

I can't get PS extension logs due to error: "command 'PowerShell.GenerateBugReport' not found".

I tried to reinstall VS Code, to reinstall the PS extension, to install the preview version of the extension.
I have two user accounts on my PC - 1) admin and 2) non-admin user. And I'm getting issues only when I run VS code as an administrator.
Of course, I tried replacing all admin VSCode settings with non-admin user settings - that didn't work.
