Bug Description

I noticed that this issue was in my event log. I was not using the vscode extension, and for some reason the PQServiceHost.exe is running in the background and failing. This event appears multiple times within a day.

Thank you for the report - I believe I've found the problem.

In the meantime, you can turn off the use of the PQTest service host in the configuration options:

configuration option id: powerquery.sdk.features.useServiceHost

This should be resolved in the 0.3.1 release (sdktools 2.127.2).
