Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Sorry if this is the wrong place to report this, as it seems likely this is actually an Electron issue, but I saw in some other issues that you're currently building your own custom Electron builds for Apple Silicon.

I was exploring why the Hashicorp Terraform extension was never finishing its initialization phase, and I tracked it down to the fast-glob npm package using os.cpus().length to determine how many workers to use. Granted, they should add a sanity check here, but this seems likely to cause other issues too.

I cannot reproduce this anymore with Electron 12:

Yup this is fixed with latest insiders and should be fixed with next stable release 1.56. Thanks for checking @bpasero
