Description
I use vscode remote development to connect to machines through a VPN. I usually have 5-10 different windows open, each connected to a remote.
After the VPN disconnects, this message shows up in every single one:
It would be great if it was possible to reload all the windows with one click!
Note that in the current version, I actually have to click Reload Window twice for every single window (but that is already being tracked in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/1485).
Here's my version info:

Start with the VS Code Remote Development overview linked in the issue and reproduce the workflow with several remote windows after a VPN disconnect. Done means a single action can reload or reconnect all affected windows, rather than requiring separate reloads for each one.
