Description

Is there an existing issue for this bug?
  • I have searched the existing open issues and found none that apply.
  • If I find any issue of interest that is related or closed, I will included a link to it in this issue.
Required Troubleshooting Steps
  • I have read and performed the troubleshooting steps
  • I have tried both values of the remote.SSH.useLocalServer setting
  • My issue was not covered in the Tips and Tricks linked from the Troubleshooting Wiki.
  • I will include a complete copy of my Remote - SSH logs by running Remote-SSH: Show Log in the command palette or from View > Output in the menu bar
[Optional] Diagnose with Copilot

I did not ask the @remote-ssh participant for help

In step 2 of the troubleshooting wiki, what was the result of running the generated SSH command verbatim outside of VS Code?

I did not try step 2 of the troubleshooting steps

Expected Behavior

ssh is found and executed always

Actual Behavior

Sometimes ssh is executed successfully but sometimes vs code fails to execute it

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Windows 11 23H2
  2. Run vscode
  3. Try remote-ssh
Anything else?

It usually works right after starting Windows, but it fails if I try it after using it for a while.

Research direction

Start with the attached Remote-SSH log and the resolver path in the reported extension.js location, focusing on the SSH detection checks and the repeated "ssh is not exiting" messages. Reproduce the intermittent failure on Windows and determine the expected successful SSH discovery behavior; no source file or test is identified in the issue.
