When using the --disable-extensions flag the issue seems to be no longer reproducible, but disabling all the installed extensions manually still triggers the issue.

ms-toolsai.jupyter-renderers
ms-toolsai.vscode-jupyter-cell-tags
ms-toolsai.vscode-jupyter-slideshow

The used workspace has two git repositories, after setting "git.enabled": false, the issue is still triggered.

The issue is now reproducible in at least 20 workstations. In addition, three remote desktop connections could not be recovered, and the machines had to be restarted.

We have tested all the versions from latest all the way down to 1.94.1 and this is were the issue is no longer reproducible without the --disable-extensions flag.

If this is a confirmed regression, it would help to know which change caused it. We maintain a node.js based CLI tool vscode-bisect that automatically downloads and runs previous VS Code insiders and asks for each build if the issue reproduces. It takes up to 8 steps to find exactly the build that caused the regression.

Steps:

• install node.js (if not yet done)
• npx --yes @vscode/vscode-bisect@latest
• follow the instructions until you found the offending build (its fine to leave the commit empty)
• report back the commit range in this issue

Thanks!

I followed the steps and none of the commits provided in the tool were able to reproduce the issue.
Later I set Telemetry Level to off and the issue is no longer reproducible in latest version.

Thanks.

/cc @lramos15 were there any changes in telemetry land between 1.94 and 1.95 ?
