VSCode hangs every now and then

[nisarul]

Type: Bug

My VSCode keeps on hanging every some time randomly. Earlier I thought it was because of remote machine(VSCode server) but it hangs even on local machine(without connecting to remote). I then thought it was because of copilot or c+ extension as I had large workspace and so I disabled those extensions. Even then I faced same issue. Then I tried on simple workspace with very few small files and still same issue. I am not able to triangulate the rot cause. I saw same issue even on latest insider versoin.

Please use the Start Extension Bisect command in Command Palette to investigate whether the problem is being caused by one of your extensions.

Thanks @gjsjohnmurray

I'll keep this extension disabled for some time and check if all is back to normal.
