vscode: Antimalware Service Executable high CPU usage when command palette try to load tasks

  • VSCode Version: Version: 1.29.0 (user setup) Commit: 5f24c93878bd4bc645a4a17c620e2487b11005f9 Date: 2018-11-12T07:47:15.448Z Electron: 2.0.12 Chrome: 61.0.3163.100 Node.js: 8.9.3 V8: 6.1.534.41 Architecture: x64

  • OS Version: Windows 10 Professional 1809 (Build 17763.55)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Use shortcut keys to run svn commit/update tasks.
  2. Vscode gets slow, Windows task manager showing high CPU usage from “Antimalware Service Executable”. After 10 or 20 secends, integrated terminal is expanded and the tasks finally get started and done.

It’s interesting that the “ASE” does not react when do the commit/update by using TortoiseSVN client or by typing commands in the terminal.

This problem is since the 1.29.0 update.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes.

Update: So it seems nothing to do with shortcut keys 👇

I forgot one task provider. Can you disable that one as well:

"typescript.tsc.autoDetect": "off"

Yes, same root cause as #63070. The tsc task detector searches the workspace for all tsconfig.json files.
