Additional context

It seems to be an administrator privilege issue, since this doesn't happen when I open VSCode as an admin.

I have tried:

1. Uninstalling and reinstalling all related C#/.NET extensions and previous versions.
2. Deleting them from the folder structure and reinstalling them.
3. Uninstalling and reinstalling all corresponding .NET SDKs/Runtimes
4. Uninstalling and reinstalling VSCode.

This may not be relevant to your situation but I was also receiving this message when starting VS Code using a workspace file, and it was because I had the project folder named as `Learn C#'. Renaming it to Learn C Sharp resolved the issue.
