I had the same problem, but something seems to have changed on the Windows side… I used a local script for automatic proxy settings, it worked for a long time, but a few weeks ago I installed an update for Windows and then I had to switch the proxy settings to “Automatically detect settings” and from then on everything works properly, including VS code
