Powershell Extension never starts. Terminal Message: "Starting server, deregistering host logger and registering shutdown listener"

Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

Powershell Extension was working for years and then tab complete stopped working. Tying to figure it out, I noticed that on another server that while the default session was starting up, the tab complete in Code editor didn't work. As soon as the Powershell session/terminal was at a prompt, all tab functions as expected. So on my Wondws 2019 server, I noticed that the terminal never gets to a prompt.

Steps to Reproduce

Run VS Code
Click on a PS1 script to load into the Code editor
Auto detect sees Powershell but never gets the extension started.

While troubleshooting, I tried switching to Win PowerShell x86 and it came up OK. I then reviewed the known issue however I am not running Av3cto. In addition one of the servers where this setup does work, both servers share the same security and monitoring software packages.
Problem server is Windows 2019 build 17763
Working server: Windows 2022 Server build 20348
FYI, my debug logs were not in the path listed in the troubleshooting doc. They were located here:
C:\Users<SamAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vscode.powershell\logs\1712264618-f696d629-7e89-40d6-a0df-133a37127f071712263703182

Visuals

There isn't much to see. The circular arrows lower right on the image spin for as long as VS Code is running. I've had VSCode for running days and the terminal never gets to a prompt.

Logs

The logs were not in the location noted in the article. From the VS Code terminal, the verbose output from debug gave the log path. C:\Users\SATrudeauJ1\AppData\Roaming\Code\User\globalStorage\ms-vscode.powershell\logs

EditorServices.log
StartEditorServices.log
StartEditorServices-temp3D1BB094.log
StartEditorServices-temp3207AE2C.log
StartEditorServices-temp13480F4F.log
vscode-powershell.log

Inizia con i file allegati EditorServices.log, StartEditorServices.log e vscode-powershell.log, quindi confronta gli ambienti Windows 2019 e Windows 2022 segnalati usando le versioni elencate di PowerShell, VS Code e dell’estensione. Consulta le indicazioni in troubleshooting.md e riproduci il blocco all’avvio; il lavoro è completato quando l’estensione raggiunge un prompt e il completamento con Tab funziona.
