Following the directions on this page: https://learning.flatironschool.com/courses/1877/pages/setting-up-wsl2?module_item_id=260646

(VS Code already installed from the site instructed on the previous page)

The problem I'm running into is with the step "6. Click on the dropdown in the terminal that says "1: powershell" and choose "Select Default Shell"". This is what I'm seeing: https://i.imgur.com/oRugKrM.png In particular, there is no "1:" before "powershell", and clicking on it produces a dropdown menu that doesn't have a "Select Default Shell" option, in contrast to what the instructions say and the video guide shows.

The "+" sign's dropdown menu does have a "Select Default Profile" (profile, not shell) option, which causes a dropdown menu to appear at the top of the VS Code window as Step 7 indicates. However, I can't then follow "8. Click on "WSL Bash" to enable VS Code to display your Ubuntu terminal", because the dropdown menu at the top doesn't have a WSL Bash option. (It does have Git Bash as an option.)

I've followed all the previous steps in the "Local Environment Setup for Windows" module series without any issue? Not sure exactly what went wrong, sorry.

The only other thing that didn't quite match what I was told I should be seeing was earlier in Configure VS Code to Work with WSL: "4. Click the green "Install" button". On my screen, the install button was blue, not green. This seemed harmless and I assumed it was just a cosmetic issue or a light theme versus dark theme thing or something? I should have the right version of VS Code since I got it from https://code.visualstudio.com/Download as instructed?

Sorry for the trouble
