platformio-vscode-ide: Could not start PIO Home server: Timeout error

Solutions

  1. Try to restart VSCode. Very often it helps.
  2. If you use a proxy or custom SSL certificate, please disable Http: Proxy Strict SSL.
  3. If you use custom antivirus tools or firewalls, please ensure that they don’t block PlatformIO. You will need to add PlatformIO Core Directory to the “whitelist”.
  4. Open PlatformIO CLI, and type pio home. The PIO Home should be opened in your default web browser (which means all packages are downloaded). Restart VSCode.

Have you disabled “Http: Proxy Strict SSL”? See https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/integration/ide/vscode.html#proxy-server-support

Please disable and restart VSCode.
