vscode: Extension host terminated unexpectedly.

Issue Type: Bug

I do not know what exatly I did wrong but vs code has been buggy of late. I updated it to a newer version (Version: 1.46.0) recently.None of my extensions work because of Extension host terminated unexpectedly error I keep getting on start up. I googled the error and the only solution was to delete the extentions causing it. I have deleted all the extensions i have and the problem still persists.

when i ‘Open Developer Tools’, this is what i see from the console:

dyld: Symbol not found: __ZN20wireless_diagnostics6google8protobuf2io16CodedInputStream24default_recursion_limit_E

from /Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js:4515 

Please help me solve this. Thank you.

This is most likely https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/45342 because of mysql shipping protobuf library.

Thanks @alexdima for narrowing down the cause. Just to re-iterate this is a package specific issue and not related to vscode.
