Thanks @Anitalex looks like a start-up issues, and potentially a dupe of #2719 in that issue we have provided a build of the extension which resolves this issue--would you mind giving that a try and letting us know if the issue persists? Thanks!

[Anitalex]

It seems to be working fine today with no modifications. After I sent this I did go through and removed every extension and then removed vscode. I removed every other app I had related to coding and then deleted the folders from APPDATA, Program Files and Programdata. I then reinstalled. I did notice something in the #2719 that you referenced and I was doing. I thought Powershell Integrated Console was the Windows Powershell but it is mentioned in your link that it is not. Thanks for that.

I thought Powershell Integrated Console was the Windows Powershell but it is mentioned in your link that it is not

It can be. The extension will run off which PowerShell executable it's configured to. It will pick up installations in the default places and you can select those by clicking on the little PowerShell version symbol in the lower right-hand corner. That includes Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7. You can also configure your own with the "powershell.additionalPowerShellExePaths" setting.

This is still an ongoing bug. Hoping that the VS Code developers will take this seriously because the program is buggy enough as it is.
