Research direction
Reproduce the issue by attaching to a Windows process with the cppvsdbg type in VS Code Insiders, then use the Pause button before any breakpoint is hit. Trace the attach and debugger Pause entry points to compare this path with the path after a breakpoint is hit. Done means Pause works immediately after attach as well as after breakpoint activity.
