I just downloaded Visual Studio Code, Python, and Django and when I open a new terminal this keeps coming up in Visual Studio Code. Do I need to fix this?

"The environment variable 'Path' seems to have some paths containing the '"' character. The existence of such a character is known to have caused the Python extension to not load. If the extension fails to load please modify your paths to remove this '"' character."

Thanks
This is a common error with the environment variable 'Path'. Just search for environment variables in the search box for windows. This will bring up a system properties tab. Go to the bottom of it and select Environment Variables. Under system variables search for path. Double click it and it will bring up another tab. In this tab search for the character that is bringing the error and hit delete. That should do it!
