I am using vs code for python codding and i was trying to upgrade pip and in the process my terminal showed this weird text with beeping noise.

The weird text:

←]633;P;IsWindows=True
633;A633;P;Cwd=C:\Users\ENJOY.ENJOY-PC\Downloads\Python Tests\Chapter 4PS C:\Users\ENJOY.ENJOY-PC\Downloads\Python Tests\Chapter 4> 633;B

What I have tried:

I tried to unistall vs code and reset all the settings but it does not work.

I also tried to unistall powershell and reistall but that also does not work.

This texts only shows when i am using powershell (version 7.2.5) as terminal.Other shells like windows powershell,cmd,bash does not show this texts.

That certainly does not look like a pip command anywhere. Please show exactly what you enter at the terminal.

pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade pip
-m pip install --upgrade pip
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

This was the code i entered.

What on earth for? Only the last command is valid. But either way I do not believe this has anything to do with installing or upgrading pip. Your Powershell session is generating all sorts of extra output not connected to the above. So where is all this other data coming from?

I have a strong suspicion that those lines with all the odd characters are generated by your profile. Run the following command:

$PROFILE | Select-Object *Host* | Format-List

and take a look in all those files to see if you can find the code that runs automatically.

I just tried it and it works fine.

Uninstalling and reinstalling anything is usually a waste of time.

That text is the control characters the terminal needs to understand to render the rest of the content. It controls stuff like colors, positioning, window scrolling, ... Google for "VT100 escape codes" and you'll see there's a lot of options.
