"Extensions Modified On Disk" warning shown every launch

[jtsom]

Type: Bug

Every time I launch VSCode, a warning notification shows up (pictured below) saying "Extensionss have been modified on disk. Please reload the window." No extensions have changed between launches. I can quit and re-launch VSCode and it happens on each launch.

VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.76.0-insider (beb9ed3758624b918f918886bb904b0b62511c08, 2023-02-08T12:48:07.860Z) OS version: Darwin arm64 22.3.0 Modes: Sandboxed: Yes
