How to choose cmd instead of PS for debugging in VS Code?

Question

C++ / C#

There is an extension ms-vscode.cpptools, I write a cpp file

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  std::cout << "helloworld" << std::endl;
}

I press F5, the debug configuration is automatically created

{
  // Используйте IntelliSense, чтобы узнать о возможных атрибутах.
  // Наведите указатель мыши, чтобы просмотреть описания существующих атрибутов.

  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "g++.exe - Сборка и отладка активного файла",
      "type": "cppdbg",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",
      "args": [],
      "stopAtEntry": false,
      "cwd": "${fileDirname}",
      "environment": [],
      "externalConsole": false,
      "MIMode": "gdb",
      "miDebuggerPath": "C:\\msys64\\mingw64\\bin\\gdb.exe",
      "setupCommands": [
        {
          "description": "Включить автоматическое форматирование для gdb",
          "text": "-enable-pretty-printing",
          "ignoreFailures": true
        }
      ],
      "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: g++.exe сборка активного файла"
    }
  ]
}

and the terminal is launched, but PowerShell is launched instead of CMD, although the settings explicitly indicate to use CMD

If I create a terminal with my hands - with a keyboard shortcut or through the menu, then CMD opens correctly The
question is, how to force debug to open not PS but CMD?
