Additional information about the issue

Recently my VS Code seems to have a problem initializing my VueJs workspaces. The problem seems to be related to the TSServer. That's why I create the issue here.

When a .vue file is opened VS Code displays "Initializing 'tsconfig.json'" in the status bar in the lower left-hand corner and it takes at least 20 minute if it finishes at all. Because of this all intellisense features (code completion, error display) do not work as well.

Most of my VueJS workspaces are on a network share and the issue occurs with all of them. The issue does not occur with workspaces on the local hard drive. The issue does not occur on another computer (same extensions, same version of VS Code) where the initialization is finished in less than a minute.

I tried deleting the config folders in my profile (.vscode and AppData\Roaming\Code) and just installing the official Vue extension, but the problem persists. I tried installing VS Code from scratch as well without success.

I compared the tsserver logs of the working and not working computer. While the log messages themselves are more or less identical the computer showing the issues seems to pause the initialization for a couple of seconds once in while:

Working computer:

Not-working computer:

Why is there a pause of 36 seconds? I found other event longer pauses of 3 min, 33 secondes, 35 seconds, 3 min 17 seconds, e.g.:

On the other computer the pause is slightly over 1 second.

When I restart the TS server the delays seem to occur on the same log entries with the same duration.

Comienza con los registros de tsserver y las entradas de inicialización de file-watcher, especialmente las pausas mientras se observan archivos en el recurso compartido de red y en autoImportProviderProject1. Compara las rutas de inicialización que funcionan y las que no; se considera terminado cuando los espacios de trabajo de Vue en recursos compartidos de red completan la inicialización sin pausas prolongadas y restauran los diagnósticos y IntelliSense.
