Unable to start debugging, since 1.14.3 (Windows 11 ARM)

Start by reproducing the launch configuration on Windows 11 ARM with C/C++ extension 1.14.3, then compare the debugger logs and behavior with version 1.13.9. Done means the same cppvsdbg configuration starts the program successfully without error 0x803d0014.

Environment

• OS and version: Windows 11 Home, 21H2, 22000.1574
• VS Code: 1.75.1
• C/C++ extension: 1.14.3
• OS and version of remote machine (if applicable):
• GDB / LLDB version: unknown

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Execute a launch configuration similar to:

        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "type": "cppvsdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "[path/to/program]",
            "preLaunchTask": "Build",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        },

2. See the error:

Unable to start debugging. Unable to start program '[path/to/program.exe]'. Unknown Error: 0x803d0014

I can debug the application with Visual Studio 2019, using devenv.exe [path/to/program.exe] The error also goes away if I downgrade the C/C++ extension to 1.13.9.

Debugger Configurations

Launch:


        {
            "name": "Debug",
            "type": "cppvsdbg",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "[path/to/program]",
            "preLaunchTask": "Build",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
        },


Task:

      {
        "label": "Build",
        "type": "<custom build extension>",
        "group": {
          "kind": "build",
          "isDefault": true
        }
      },

Other Extensions

• Custom build system extension
• GitLens
• Live Share

Additional Information

Downgrading the C/C++ extension fixes the problem, so it appears to be an issue with the latest version (1.14.3).
