I've just install .NET Install Tool one day and since that day my terminal take very long time to load. I think it's also my computer that's slow af, you'll see the configuration and the OS that I have.

Extension version: 2.0.2 VS Code version: Code 1.87.1 (1e790d77f81672c49be070e04474901747115651, 2024-03-06T00:21:36.258Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26063 Modes:

I'm not sure what we can do about this, installing .net is expensive and most computers should handle it ok. But after the first time it finishes downloading it shouldnt really impact things anymore until theres an update?

[gossotjeanbaptiste]

I don't really know if this is really a bug or not because I used the Bisect extension that deactivated some extension to know which extension is producing the problem and it tell me it was the .NET Installer Tool but I think this just a bug with my VS Code installation and extension mixed with the small configuration I have on the computer I had the bug because on my other computer it wasn't taking that long to load with the same extension installed. For example my terminal could take between 5 to 15 minutes to load.

[nagilson]

Did the extension ever report that it finished downloading .NET and give you a path to it?

And does it do that every time you reload? You are right that the bicep extension calls us. Once we install .NET once it shouldnt need to happen again so there should be minimal impact, but maybe they are requesting a new DL each time -- I doubt this, though. Its possible that its never completing in which case ya, it might slow down your terminal more, until its been able to complete the entire install.

Yes he told me he had finished downloading but I don't remember having a path given to me. And yes it does that everytime I loaded a new terminal like sometimes I had to restart my computer or VS Code to make everything work again because it was making my computer lagging af. But like I said it's maybe the computer who's a bit slow because on my other one with the same extension it was taking like 2 to 5 seconds to load a terminal. Sometimes if I remember correctly I'd get a report of the .NET extension telling me it was downloading something but I never really cared enough to really look at why the report where saying.
