I have been facing this issue for months now with VS Studio Code extensions and unable to install any new extension. I see others also facing this issue but no concrete solution has been provided. Some say it automatically worked when they switched to new wifi. My settings.json file is empty and i don't have any extensions installed. I have multiple time cleared cache and other temp file as per copilot instructions
VS Code version - 1.98.2
OS: windows 11
Any help is appreciated.

Reset to default -11)Restart VS Code (sometimes it will solve your issue)
2)Update VS Code:-Go to "Help" -> "Check for Updates" ( check for updates, if you can do the update in your vs code it may also solve your issue which you mention above)
3)Uninstalling and Reinstalling Specific Extensions which is needed (this is an common idea which you can try to uninstall unwanted extensions and after restart the vs code, then try to reinstall your specific extension which you need)
4)Uninstall your current version of vs code and Reinstall the newer version of vs code. (This is not a best idea for all time, if you don't have any other choice you can try it. )
