Failed to connect to the remote extension host server (Error: Handler already set!)

Question

I went to open a repo using Vs Code on a remote ssh host. I can ssh in successfully but when I try to open a repo I get Failed to connect to the remote extension host server (Error: Handler already set!). I've tried un installing and re installing Vs Code. Does anyone have a fix other than switching ides.

Try in settings.json add item "security.workspace.trust.enabled": false
