Hi, every time I open the VS code window it defaults to this directory:PS D:\github repos\test-repo>

And when I try and run a python script (which has worked before) it gives errors, how can i fix this please?

@google-rayazsiddiqi It used to happen with me when i had all my files messy.

Try organizing every project in a folder and then open vs code and from vs code open the folder it automatically opens all files in the folder and redirects you to its corresponding directory in the terminal.

I also add the -n when starting code. So in your command windows

cd /path/to/project/directory
venv/scripts/activate
code -n .

With this I'm assuming you've created a virtual environment named venv. To create a virtual environment 

python -m venv venv

the directory loaded in terminal is usually the directory of the project your opened. 

to run the script you need to be in the same directory.  as @ssadvisor mentioned, change directory by running this command:

cd /path/to/project/directory
