VS Code fails to start and must be restarted #326240

Description

@EspritElf

Type: Bug

Started up ubuntu 24.04 and tried opening VS Code which immediately crashed. Been having issues with ChatGpt and Claude extensions not opening, just showing the icon in the ai tab. Removed Chatgpt extension prior to latest crash. The crashing started happening after the last VS Code update.

VS Code version: Code 1.129.0 (125df46, 2026-07-15T00:08:44Z)
OS version: Linux x64 6.17.0-40-generic
