Description

Hi, I was trying to make JUnit work so I made co-pilot do a few things but I couldn't follow it as it had done a lot of things. Now neither my program nor VS Code works (at least while trying to run my program).

Stuck in "activating task providers java"
Image

Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace does not work (command not found)
Image

When I click "run Java", this thing on bottom right appears but nothing happens (waited 3+ minutes, my program used to run in less than 5 seconds after pressing run)
Image

Nothing of significance in "Problems"
Image

This guy at the bottom is probably related to the main cause of the issue but disabling it and restarting VSCode etc does not change anything. The same issues still persist. (Command not found, activating task providers java, run importing projects etc all the same). I disabled it for now.

Extension Host

Window
Image

Not sure if relevant, but Java: Configure Java Runtime leads here although I am in a file as you can see on the left (but I'm not sure what this is so this information is probably irrelevant and makes me look stupid as it is also incorrect lol)
Image

I have been trying to find a solution both with internet searches and AI suggestions for a few hours now but couldn't find a solution. Please help! I wish I just did not try to "force" the optional part of my homework; I was done with it and now it doesn't work and I need to show it to my prof in a few hours :D

I'm using Windows 11, this additional info may help link here

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked vscode-java-test comment and the reported Windows 11 symptoms: “activating task providers java,” the missing “Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace” command, and stalled project importing. Reproduce the failure and inspect the extension-host and window information shown in the screenshots; done means identifying the cause and restoring Java project import and run behavior.
