Description

Type: Bug

After updating the remote ssh plugin and VCS.
I cannot connect anymore to the remote server like I used to do it.
It keeps asking for the oprating system then complains that something cannot be loaded.
If I revert to an old version - it worked before.

But now the VCS was also updated and no connection is possible. (with old or new)
I even added the remote extended pack.

Extension version: 0.120.2025040915
VS Code version: Code 1.99.2 (4949701c880d4bdb949e3c0e6b400288da7f474b, 2025-04-10T01:21:25.295Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045

Research direction

Reproduce the failed remote connection using the reported VS Code, extension, and Windows versions, first recording the exact operating-system loading error. Compare behavior with the older extension and VCS versions, and document the conditions under which the remote server connection succeeds or fails.
