Description
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS (e.g., Windows 10): Windows 11
- Extension version (e.g., 1.2.3): v2.1.0
Describe the bug:
A few days ago, I found that I could not open my edge browser (version 103.0.1264.44). I choose to use an older version and it works for me. But one day after the windows update, I find the older version gone, and I cannot use Edge again. So I turn to Chrome.
However, recently I find suddenly I can use Edge browser again, it is confusing but it finally works. Then I find another issue that my vs code always has a slow memory usage boost (e.g., my total memory cost grows from 8GB to 13GB after opening a vs code project), then the window just fails (report "oom" error when the total memory usage comes to 13.4GB).
I carefully checked and try to find the reason. Finally, after banning the "Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code" extension, my vs code stopped having this problem (the memory usage cost just grows from 8GB to 10GB and stopped, which looks quite normal).
Repro steps:
Expected behavior:
I hope the developer could find the reason for this bug and get an update. :)
Additional context:
I quite enjoy using vs code and I thank all the contributors in the community.
