I open the Developer Tool for the notification that popped up in VSCode and these errors are shown in Console:

Make sure you are running 1.52, then use the new bisect command to find out which extension is causing the problem.

Thanks for your support. I find out the reason behind the notification "Extension host terminated unexpectedly."
when we install VSCode ( from the official link (with the recent updates as well ) ) into our system most of the Antiviruses deletes two files from the folders.

[ C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\node ]
AND
[C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\worker]

These two files get deleted by Antiviruses

1 ) extensionHostProcess.js
Address:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\node\extensionHostProcess.js

2) extensionHostWorker.js
Address:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\worker\extensionHostWorker.js

The SOLUTION is: [ I'm using Quick Heal Antiviruses But Steps are the same for most of the Antiviruses ]

1. open antiviruses then click on the scan option, look for the " Quarantine & Backup " option click on it,

2. Then click on " view files ",

3. Then from the list of quarantined files restore both the files [ extensionHostProcess.js and extensionHostWorker.js ] individually by clicking on the restore button,

4. Make shower you click in a check box " Add this to exclusion list ",

5. Then click on " Yes ".

Well, my problem has been solved by this method.

Closing since this sounds like a problem with the antivirus program, not VS Code

Does this also apply to MacOS? And where do I find these two files?

• extensionHostProcess.js
• extensionHostWorker.js

Running MacOS 11.1 (Big Sur) and facing the problem since a few weeks now.
I'm (forced to) using Carbon Black Cloud (version 3.5.1.13).
