vscode: Extension host crashes upon launch of VSC

Issue Type: Bug

This behavior began today probably after a relaunch allowed VSC to automatically update itself to 1.57.0.

Launch Visual Studio Code 1.57.0 on macOS
Observe the pop-up dialog box that says, "Extension host terminated unexpectedly. *Open Developer Tools (button) and *Restart Extension Host (button).
Observe that none of the extensions work.
Click on Restart Extension Host.
Go to 1. or 2.

Version: 1.57.0 Commit: b4c1bd0a9b03c749ea011b06c6d2676c8091a70c Date: 2021-06-09T17:22:31.215Z Electron: 12.0.9 Chrome: 89.0.4389.128 Node.js: 14.16.0 V8: 8.9.255.25-electron.0 OS: Darwin x64 15.6.0

Sorry for the slow response (weekend), I’m trying to untangle the thread here.

@oscarrutt

I see you are on Darwin x64 15.6.0, so you cannot suffer from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/125989 which impacts only mac os < 10.12
Does the extension host crash for you with all extensions disabled? Can you please quit vscode (cmd+q) and then launch code --disable-extensions.

@liquidia

what macOS version are you on.

Please keep GistPad vsls-contrib.gistfs for now until https://github.com/lostintangent/gistpad/issues/230 gets investigated by the extension author.
