Insiders only (works fine in Stable): every time I try to start a debug session (either press F5, or use the Start Debug command), regardless of the debug type I select (Interactive Sessions, or Current File etc...) I always get the error in the screenshot.
I can reproduce with all extensions disabled (except Powershell of course), I tried to clean my C:\Users\carloc.vscode-insiders\extensions folder (basically reinstall the extensions from scratch) but the problem remains.
I use Code Insiders as my primary editor, I think I got this error the first time towards the end of last week but I don't have exact dates to confirm

This issue was moved to Microsoft/vscode#61649
I had the same error. Debugger started to work when extension VS Live Share has been disabled and VS code reloaded.

I have the same issue now with VS Live Share installed when I start debugging powershell
Looks like a VSCode issue https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/61649 that will be released soon.
I have experienced this issue in vscode 1.30.2.
In insiders it is fixed.
