Cannot get all shells configured in VSCode for Shell Launcher

I followed the instructions from How to add multiple terminal in VS Code?

When I type Ctrl+Alt+S (my custom shortcut) only Powershell and Git Bash are listed whereas cmd and wsl not there, why are they missing ?

You have incorrect paths in extension settings!

You can find necessary paths by running following commands in windows console (cmd):

where cmd (for cmd)

where powershell (for PowerShell)

where bash (for Git bash, WSL Bash)

Here is one of possible options for 64 bit windows:

"shellLauncher.shells.windows": [     {       "shell": "C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\cmd.exe",       "label": "cmd"     },     {       "shell": "C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe",       "label": "PowerShell"     },     {       "shell": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",       "label": "Git bash"     },     {       "shell": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\bash.exe",       "label": "WSL Bash"     } ] 

Then you can select one you need with shortcut:

{     "key": "ctrl+alt+s",     "command": "shellLauncher.launch" } 

After that you can select one in list in terminal panel.
