If you don’t want to update the changes in VS Code, you can run the command in the Windows terminal:

  • Step 1: Activate the virtual environment (if you are using it)
  • Step 2: Point the directory where manage.py is located and then run the runserver command and you should be good to go.

I use VS Code and run the project typing python manage.py runserver and everything works smoothly. I’m not aware of having done anything special to make it work this way.
I do work wihin a pip virtual env that i launch by typing pipenv shell.

Whenever i run python manage.py runserver it launches the server at 127.0.0.1:8000.

I assumed it came built-in with django. Maybe it has something to do with how you installed python. I remember having some issue with that some time back. It was about setting the PATH variable in the windows environment.
