Description

Hi,

It took me forever to figure out why my "open in dev container" commands were hanging every time it needed to pull an image from a repository to use a feature, usually ghcr from what i noticed. Weirdly enough, running `docker-credential-desktop get` would hang in both Powershell and WSL. and I noticed this was the step that the boot sequence would usually hang on. I got around this by running `docker login https://ghcro.io --username ` and using a classic personal access token. now the images seem to be pulling fine, but there was no indication this was causing the issue, and took a lot of digging around and figuring out what was happening in the credsStore config, etc.

Not sure if this is a Windows/WSL issue only but it seems like OSX users were running into a lot of credentials issues in open issues during my research.

I hope this is helpful feedback.
