[VS Code Extension] Cannot connect to task hubs (`Func: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider')`)

Hello,

I’m not being able to connect to local (azurite) or remote task hubs using the VS Code extension. After waiting for the backend to respond, I’m receiving a Func: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider') error.

Installed the latest v4.x Azure Func Core Tools from here. I’m running the latest v6.0 extension version on 1.73.1 VS Code, Windows 11 Pro 22H2. .NET 6 runtime is installed.

Adding a few details here:

Completely uninstalled .NET 6.0 SDK and Azure Func Core Tools then did a complete reinstall of them

By this, I meant no repairing, no overwrite installation, simply:

1. Go through all packages (programs) related to .NET 6 and Function Core Tools
2. Remove them via Programs and Features (using Windows 11)
3. Restart the machine (it always helps, won’t make it worse)
4. Install the latest versions of .NET 6 SDK and Function Core Tools 4*. I may as well have reinstalled the extension in VS Code, to be sure, but I cannot confirm that it’s necessary
