Hello @josser and thanks for letting us know about this issue.
Its not a normal thing for sure, but from experience, Windows upgrades to 1903 have been buggy for a long time, so what you see is not related to Atom or platformio-ide-terminal.
What I recommend is that you reset Atom to defaults see http://flight-manual.atom.io/hacking-atom/sections/debugging/#reset-to-factory-defaults
If that doesnt work, redo that again uninstall Atom and delete all Atom associated directories that remain, reinstall Atom and try installing platformio-ide-terminal.
If That still doesnt work, complain to Microsoft. I bet their support crew will be happy to help you with resetting Windows or reinstalling or whatever solution they may see.
Feel free to update this issue with more information after you try these things. It will be of help maybe to others.
Have a nice weekend, if you can. For now bye,
Thank you for the fast response. I'd already tried the Atom reset and just now completely removed and re-installed Atom with just this package installed. Still the same. I didn't really expect it to be an Atom or Platformio problem, I was more hoping that somebody would recognize this problem and might have a solution. I've only been using Platformio for a short time (just after the Atom 1.40.1 fix) and it still opens the terminal in the project folder, so that saves some time and typing. Not worth contacting Microsoft for and sure not re-installing Windows ;)
I have Atom + platformio-ide-terminal working on Windows 1903, but it wasnt an automatic upgrade, I manually upgraded, It was also a VM for testing to see if I could find any such issues, sadly no, it works.
I'l leave this open for now maybe someone has some other suggestions. Fingers crossed.
If you have mcaffee try to whitelist platformio-ide-terminal folder, also you may want to add a -NoLogo switch to platformio-ide-terminal settings.
See https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide-terminal/issues/668 (pinned issue) it has various workarounds that may help, including the ones I mentioned above.
Also you may want to uninstall Atom completely, really remove all its directories left behind and use chocolatey to install Atom instead. I found that in my first experiment, Atom official setup.exe failed to install properly or sometimes to actually install. Chocolatey was a stable way to get Atom working.
Not worth contacting Microsoft for and sure not re-installing Windows ;)
I understand both points, but when these issues arise, if you cant handle workarounds or fixes yourself, the result is long standing issues.
I could also recommend a Linux virtualbox machine and run Atom from there, its far more stable IMO in Linux than Windows.
Do please update thread with your findings. DOnt hesitate to share any insights and lists of external software you have that may (like mcaffee) interfere with Atom + this terminal.
Good luck.
I use Avast instead of McAffee but tried disabling it and excluding the indicated folder. I tried the -NoLogo setting I tried the complete uninstall of Atom and using Chocolatey to install it. All with no success. I use several VM's for small tasks but unfortunately is not an option for me to work full time in an VM with Atom. Thank you very much for the help but it seems that the windows upgrade messed something up..

It was a suggestion that could tidy you up until there's a way around the issue that you're comfortable with.
Thank you very much for the help but it seems that the windows upgrade messed something up..
Youre welcome in any case. It was obvious to me that also it was the Windows upgrade, but I cant forget past issues that may hold some clew, but its your choice on how to proceed from here.
Ill leave this open in the meantime, maybe someone who has some other suggestion can chime in, or if something else occurs to me, Ill be sure to reply also.
Please dont hesitate to update here if situation changes.
@josser900 Can you check if KB4512941 is installed? IF not Try to get it via autoupdates. I wonder if that patch has any bearing on the issue plaguing you.
This didn't help (it is giving me the high cpu load too that's in the news right now so I'm going to uninstall it again)
Sorry to hear that. Re: hi cpu load you can set bing as default search engine in meantime, solutions on web regarding this, so excuse me for not parroting some other web page on the subject, you may also have read it idk., Me I just disable cortana altogether via group policy and reg tweak.
Seems issue is related to a bad Windows upgrade. There nothing else we can do here, so only recourse is up to you.
I would also suggest you uninstall Atom and remove all atom installation folders completely and then try with Atom 1.39.1 and platformio-ide-terminal 2.9.4.
Fell free to update ticket with newer information if it magically fixes itself.
Thanks for understanding.
have you tried opening a windows cmd prompt, going into properties, unchecking "use legacy console" and then restart atom and open the terminal?

That worked for me!
Yes, that did it!! Thank you very much.

I had the same problem with VSCode, and it fixed it!
