From 10 times I open vscode, 2 times it's not loading and I can't type anything

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing the intermittent loading failure with VSCodeVim 1.29.0, VS Code 1.96.3, and Windows 11, comparing normal launches with OBS recording or streaming. Done means the extension consistently loads and accepts typing in the reported scenarios.
