Remote Development Extension - Code Server Install Failing

[noah-hanka]

Ever since I came home from college, I can no longer open a remote wsl window in vscode and I am not sure what is the cause of the issue.
When running 'code .' I get the following error message:
`Updating VS Code Server to version da15b6fd3ef856477bf6f4fb29ba1b7af717770d
Removing previous installation...

I am not really sure what could be causing this.
I am on Windows 11 using wsl1. Everything is fully updated.

That's a WSL issue that looks similar to microsoft/WSL#4461.

there's a workaround mentioned in microsoft/WSL#8219 (comment)
which solved it for me temporarily
