Description

Issue Type: Bug

Hello,

I have worked about a year on my MacBook Pro using VSCode and C++, and it was worked well, debugger started normally, all worked. But after some not good morning, debugger begin frozing on a start - it starts loading any C++ application and then hanging up (application does not start, debugger wait infinitly).
One time i have solved this issue by completely remove VS.Code, its settings and extensions. And these was helpfull, after reinstallation VS.Code worked well. But after about a month of work an issue was repeated, and now could not be solved after reinstallation.

Please help me, if this could be helpfull, i could grant access to my Mac by AnyDesk.

Thanks a lot,
Ivan

Research direction

Start by reproducing the debugger hang when launching a C++ application in VS Code on macOS, using the reported VS Code 1.46.1 and cpptools 0.29.0-insiders versions and listed extensions. Compare behavior after removing extensions or settings, then identify a reproducible cause and validate that the debugger starts normally.
