Just confirming if this happen 100% of the time? Also could you give me some indication as to what the specs are of your machine (i.e. type of hard drive, memory, cpu, age, etc)?

[avanderhoorn]

Also when you get a chance, can you try running:

~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.3.264/dotnet_modules/vsls-agent

Note the version number... I'd love to know what the output is.

After I executed the script @avanderhoorn requested me to run on my terminal

~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.3.264/dotnet_modules/vsls-agent

The extension started to work perfectly.

Hello,today I open the vscode,the problem appears again.
After executed the script ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-0.3.264/dotnet_modules/vsls-agent .
It works again.
should I executed the script everyday when I open the vscode?
@ManudeQuevedo How about you?Please let me know,thanks a lot.

Hello @hqiwen , I executed the command while the VS Code editor was open, after this, the plugin automatically started to reload, and the last step I took was to re-launch VS Code, until now, it is working perfectly.

@hqiwen you shouldn't have to run the command before opening VS Code to get the extension to load, and I'm not sure why it's solving your problem.
@jasongin @avanderhoorn from the logs, the agent is failing to start with the error "Failed to initialize CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x8007042B" - any ideas?

[jasongin]

0x8007042B = "The process terminated unexpectedly."
It's not a very informative error code.

[avanderhoorn]

@hqiwen can you give us the details of your machine (i.e. type of hard drive, memory, cpu, age, etc)?

[hqiwen]

Sure，here they are.

OS window 10 professional
memory 4GB
CPU Intel Core i5-5200U @ CPU 2.20GHz 2.20GHz

The type of hard drive TOSHIBA MQ01ABF050

And here is the logs.
