Probably some extension that is using task provider is crashing 🤷‍♂️? I checked the developer tools and the host logs, but did not find the root cause. There is some other stuff that I can do to investigate this?

[microhobby]

Anyway, it seems to be a problem in the Uno Platform extension https://github.com/unoplatform/uno/issues/12210. But I only came to this conclusion by bisecting the extensions. There was no log other than Timed out activating extensions for task providers in the Developer Console.

To maintainers, I don't think an extension should break built-in functionality like listing and executing tasks, this sounds very wrong to me.

already fixed!
