Thanks for filing. Tracking on our backlog.

I believe this has been resolved. Closing the work folder, updating VS Insiders and opening the folder again, which I re-located to a dev drive, seems to have fixed the problem. Don't know what caused it, but seems to be working now.

Well, I spoke to soon. This problem still happens when I right click open in VS Insider from within Windows Explorer Preview.
If I open the folder from within VS Insider it seems to work fine. No problem either way with VS Code.
But at least I found a workaround.

Glad you have a workaround, and thanks for the extra information. This will help our dev team investigate.
