Description
Entirely new to programming so please forgive the cluelessness. The terminal window works perfectly fine in the default directory (desktop) but will not work when I open Atom in a project file.
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to project folder in file explorer
- Open Atom using right-click menu
- Click plus sign to open terminal
Expected behavior: terminal opens and loads windows PowerShell with my settings
Actual behavior: The Terminal refuses to open. there is a resistant blocking cursor instead
Reproduces how often: 100% of the time

Additional Information
here are some issues that I suspect may be related to the problem: -in my installation, other terminal packages also do not work -initially, the package was not installing. it gave some java error but eventually installed -changing default shell to cmd also breaks the application
