Lately, after I have been using VSCode for some time, opening and closing it repeatedly, I was surprised to see, in Process Explorer, a lot of wsl.exe processes. As it looks, 4 or 5 processes were started by VSCode each time I opened it, but were not terminating when I was closing VSCode, so I ended up with a lot of them (there are only 5 in the image, but actually there were several dozens).
I think this has something to do with the following dialog box I see (almost?) every time I open VSCode
(which I was just closing since I am not interested to install these extensions).
Does someone know how to disable the launching of these processes? I had a Docker extension which I uninstalled, but this behavior persists.
