Expected Behavior

We configure remote platform using wildcard syntax in user settings to prevent the prompt on each connection. It works nicely, but on Windows a user still sees a following notification in the remote window:

You selected "linux" as the remote platform - this will be stored in the setting "remote.SSH.remotePlatform" and can be changed there if needed.

Although a user is not prompted anymore.
