The accepted answer works for me but with zsh shell ("terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\msys64\\usr\\bin\\zsh.exe"), things are much slower than with bash. I don't know why but using ConEmu's cygwin/msys terminal connector greatly helped:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\conemu\\ConEmu\\conemu-msys2-64.exe",
"terminal.integrated.env.windows": {
    "CHERE_INVOKING": "1",
    "MSYSTEM": "MINGW64",
    "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE": "inherit",
},
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": [
    "/usr/bin/zsh",
    "-l",
    "-i",
],
