Integrated terminal switching to powershell (From default Ubuntu-20.04 (WSL)) when executing the code with code runner extension in vs code

Question

When running my c++ code using code runner extension in vscode, the terminal switches to powershell even though the, "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows" is set to Ubuntu-20.04 (WSL). This messes up my execution statement which is for linux based environments.

I have tried :

1. Removing powershell profiles from "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows"
2. Using the legacy "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" and setting it the C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe

Here is my settings.json file
