Language Service Startup Failure

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

I get the following error as soon as I install the Powershell Module. I’ve tried the other remediations with this issue before but they didn’t help resolve the issue:

When I tried to install that extension it threw this:

You’re running it with Visual Studio’s VSIX installer. You need to install it with VSCode’s.

In the command line: code --install-extension ./path/to/PowerShell-Insiders.vsix

But in the console, which is to say the terminal, what do you see?

Can you try the extension build from https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/issues/2719#issuecomment-671676720
