Description
- Install the offline or online vsix.
- Do Configure Default Build Task.
Bug: Tasks.json squiggles on the "type": "cppbuild".
Doing a Reload Windows fixes it. No "Reload Window" prompt is shown though.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by installing the offline or online VSIX, choosing Configure Default Build Task, and checking the generated tasks.json entry for the cppbuild type. Compare behavior before and after Reload Window; done means cppbuild is registered immediately after installation or a reload prompt is shown when needed.
