Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/11489

State: closed
Merged: Yes


This commit reduces the number of generated VS profiles from 6 down to just 2
per VS instance. The reason we did this is out of concern of overwhelming or
annoying new users with too many profiles. Especially since it's far easier
at the moment to add new generators compared to removing them.

As before only the latest instance is not hidden by default.

PR Checklist

  • I work here
  • Tests added/passed

Validation Steps Performed

  • A profile for both is generated, while the 2019 one is hidden by default ✔️
  • $env:VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH is x64 on my AMD64 machine ✔️
