Do you have terminal.integrated.splitCwd set in your settings file?

[polderudo]

"terminal.integrated.splitCwd": "inherited" does not work.
workspaceRoot and initial works

Switching to workspaceRoot, then closing VSCode, then reopen and switching back to inherited and restarting vscode solved the issue for me
