VScode Mac Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers

Question

I'm working on a Mac with Catalina installed and the latest version now reports this error:

Error loading webview: Error: Could not register service workers: InvalidStateError: Failed to register a ServiceWorker: The document is in an invalid state.

This happens when i try to open Git - View History tab.

How can this be resolved?

On a side note, i saw some older issues with suggestions to load code with --no-sandbox which does not imply to my case (implies only to Windows users i think)

Try to terminate VScode in activity monitor and re-run it. In most cases, the problem is related to an instance (VScode app or updater) running in background.
