Description
Describe the bug
in some cases (which cant quite understand which) - the editor is stuck in activating extensions and i cant enter any vim mode. every time i press a key a message in the lower bar reports: "Activating Extensions"
**
i thought maybe there is some conflict or overload on the editor with other extensions, but i cant find a way to disable this behavior.
Expected behavior
enter any vim mode without getting the "Activating Extension" alert
Environment (please complete the following information):
- Extension (VsCodeVim) version: i am using vim V1.24.3 because i am working on a private network, and this is the latest version that is compatible with the vscode version we are using.
- VSCode version: 1.73.1
- OS:win 10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with VsCodeVim 1.24.3 on VSCode 1.73.1 and Windows 10, noting that no triggering extension combination or code location is provided. Done means the editor no longer remains stuck on “Activating Extensions” and Vim modes can be entered normally.
