Error running browser: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:41613

Describe the bug In wsl 2 I am unable to connect to my browser. When installing with a fresh and fresh launch.json system it works fine but after “userDataDir” was set it boots up once then after reboot I cant connect

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• Freshly installed vs-code-insiders 1.54 (Same bug with stable version)
• Install the WSL2 extensions for vs-code when prompted
• Create a default launch “pwa-chrome”. Make sure you running in vs-code remote WSL:ubuntu
• Testing it works fine
• set the “userDataDir” so that you can install vue-devtools and have it stick between reboots.
• Reboot -Error Error running browser: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:41613
• Removing userDataDir does not fix the bug
• Restarting vs-code or creating a new launch config doesnt fix it

I got bitten by this, @connor4312 could you please re-open? Same issue with the exception that i did not fiddle with userDataDir. my config:

{
    "name": "Launch Chrome",
    "request": "launch",
    "type": "pwa-chrome",
    "url": "http://localhost:8080",
    "webRoot": "${workspaceFolder}"
  },

i tried @mellester fix but it doesn’t work for me. re-installing vscode, wsl2, using insiders, using stable, nothing works Chrome opens for 3 seconds, then it closes on me, and i get the: Error running browser: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:53876 I just ran out of things to try, and i need to work 😦

Hello, I had the same issues as everyone here and I was on Ubuntu 20.04 for the WSL. I changed to Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and it worked without any problem.
