Cannot open Local Terminal Failed to start [cmd.exe]

Answered

I'm using the latest Pycharm (2019.1.3) and have been developing an application just fine the past few weeks. Today, I opened up Pycharm and I get the following message in my terminal:

Cannot open Local Terminal
Failed to start [cmd.exe] in <myappfilepath>

I've tried to change the terminal shell path to powershell.exe as well with no luck.

Any insight?

Not that I have a solution, but the latest is 2019.2, not 2019.1.3. Sometimes it hurts to update, sometimes not.
