Windows 10 VS Code terminal won't open; cmd.exe crashes on title bar right-click

Two issues I'm having that are likely related.


1. Visual Studio Code (Insiders) can't open the terminal.


The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" failed to launch (exit code: 3221225794).


Microsoft's help page says that I should "open cmd.exe from the start menu, right-click the title bar, go to Properties and under the Options tab, uncheck Use legacy console." But when I open cmd.exe...


2. Command Prompt crashes when I right-click the title bar.


Event Viewer tells me:
