for those facing it with WSL2 what helped me was to increase the amount of RAM to WSL2, just create .wslconfig file in your user folder eg: C:\Users\[YourUserName]:

# Settings apply across all Linux distros running on WSL 2
[wsl2]

# Limits VM memory to use no more than 4 GB, this can be set as whole numbers using GB or MB
memory=4GB 

# Sets the VM to use two virtual processors
processors=2

# Specify a custom Linux kernel to use with your installed distros. The default kernel used can be found at https://github.com/microsoft/WSL2-Linux-Kernel
#kernel=C:\\temp\\myCustomKernel

# Sets additional kernel parameters, in this case enabling older Linux base images such as Centos 6
#kernelCommandLine = vsyscall=emulate

# Sets amount of swap storage space to 8GB, default is 25% of available RAM
swap=8GB

# Sets swapfile path location, default is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\swap.vhdx
swapfile=C:\\temp\\wsl-swap.vhdx

# Disable page reporting so WSL retains all allocated memory claimed from Windows and releases none back when free
pageReporting=false

# Turn on default connection to bind WSL 2 localhost to Windows localhost. Setting is ignored when networkingMode=mirrored
localhostforwarding=true

# Disables nested virtualization
nestedVirtualization=false

# Turns on output console showing contents of dmesg when opening a WSL 2 distro for debugging
debugConsole=true

# Enable experimental features
[experimental]
sparseVhd=true

I am having this issue and is really annoying to the point that VSCode is unusable (without automatic formatting).

If you are using Auto Import - ES6, TS, JSX, TSX extension, try to uninstall it and replace it with Auto Import.

This worked for me. Bought a new memory thinking that this was related to a memory issue😅

In my case problem was caused by wrong tailwindcss configuration but most helpful thing can be the way I discovered it. Prettier plugin console didn't show any error but I ran Prettier formatting via cli (prettier --write "**/*.{ts,tsx,md}") and I found importing error in tailwind file. After fix Prettier works as expected
