2. Open Visual Studio 2019
3. Open a solution with a cake file, mine is a solution item

Clicking the refresh button in the top left of task runner explorer fixes it and shows all tasks for the duration of the session.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Visual Studio 2019 using a solution with a Cake file, then open Task Runner Explorer immediately after starting Visual Studio. Begin by tracing the extension's solution-open and task-refresh entry points. Done means Cake tasks appear automatically on the first opening, without clicking the refresh button.
