VSCode says "The editor cannot be opened due to an unexpected error: No file system provider found for resource 'vscode-remote://wsl%2Bubuntu/...' "
Goal: Get regular Bash and Git in Terminal working for Python projects in Visual Studio Code.
Anytime I launch, I see this error. I cannot open code or use Terminal.
Error Message:
The editor cannot be opened due to an unexpected error: No file system provider found for resource 'vscode-remote://wsl%2Bubuntu/...'
Update: Uninstalled WSL. I no longer have the below old Terminal output.
