Same here. Each time I reload my VS Code, Codex extension is showing “failed to load tasks”. I’m using it on a remote server.

I have two workspaces, but one is deactivated. I suppose switching to the active workspace will solve the issue, but there is no way to switch.

This problem got solved for me. Days of trying different solutions, suspecting corporate proxy, VS code extensions conflict, versions etc etc. Found the solution under a github issue that someone else pointed out. When I removed “C:\Program Files\Git\bin” in the PATH, it started working. Looks like it disagrees with bash in this folder. Don’t know why.
