Research direction
Start by inspecting com.microsoft.azure.toolkit.intellij.common.action.WhatsNewStartupActivity at line 35 and trace the surrounding AzureTask and AzureTaskManager calls shown in the stack trace. Reproduce the IntelliJ startup path if possible; done means the Recursive update exception no longer occurs during that path.
