I'm encountering an issue when using GitHub Copilot in VS Code. After Copilot agent modifies a file, it suggests a PowerShell command and asks whether I want it to run the command for me. When I click “Run”, Copilot automatically opens a PowerShell terminal in VS Code.
However, every time PowerShell opens, I get an error message like this. (During this process, I don’t perform any actions and I never press Ctrl+C.)

KeyboardInterrupt
I suspect that the issue occurs because PowerShell automatically activates my conda environment on startup, but since the activation takes a bit of time, Copilot may be interrupting it prematurely.
I need to run my program within a conda environment. Since I added conda activate my_env in my Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1, the environment does get activated eventually. However, the KeyboardInterrupt error that appears at startup sometimes interferes with Copilot’s subsequent commands.
Is there any way to fix this issue or prevent the error from occurring?
