@maciejkukulka What version of Powershell are you using? You need to be on PS version 7.0 or above so that it is using the cross platform version of the powershell core.

I downloaded the new version (7.1) because on version 5.1 I had the same errors.

When trying to use Visual Studio Code terminal i get an error like this:

Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

I downloaded PS 7.1 on virtual machine and it works correctly.

Do I need to change some permissions on my PC?

[maciejkukulka]

OK, got it. I had to install PowerShellGet to make it working properly.
Install-Module -Name PowerShellGet -Force
