It happens with at least the extensions Remote - SSH, Python and rust-analyzer. Manually downloading the extensions and installing via the command line does work.

Please continue using this setting "extensions.verifySignature" = false until this is fixed

I don’t see such option. And when I just put it in it does not work. Maybe it’s something available only in development version of VSCode?

EDIT: Never mind, it seems it picked it up after an application restart.
