Description

Describe the feature you'd like

In Visual Studio, when attaching to an existing process, the process title is shown, and that allows somebody to differentiate between the same process name that is doing different things (i.e. different w3wp processes).

VSCode with the C# DevKit extension does not show the process title, only the process name, and process id, so it is not possible to know which w3wp process is the required process.

Could we have the process title displayed with the process name and process id to make debugging of projects easier?
