How do I launch the new terminal through shortcut such as Ctrl + Shift + C in Visual Studio Code?

wsl.exe launches Windows Subsytem for Linux for me with Ubuntu (It is the only distro installed).
Should I remove Ubuntu and then try?

Setting "terminal.external.windowsExec" to whatever the new executable is should work.
