Description

I just installed dev containers for a test and when I went to vscode repo it started setting up dev containers when in the vscode repo without asking?

Image

I have "dev.containers.executeInWSL": true, set, but I'm pretty sure I didn't set that manually. I did recently install docker in WSL for a TPI though.
