Memory Leak on 1.95.3 with no extensions; eventually caps RAM and freezes computer #230090

Closed as not planned

Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: see title.
  • Portable version.
  • OS Version: Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (22631.4169)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Launch VS Code with no extension enabled
  2. Wait

What happens:

  1. RAM usage constantly increases
  2. Developer: Process Explorer does not report any usage increase on any of the code main items
  3. Eventually the RAM usage caps out, the computer becomes unresponsive, and I have to hard reset it

What I have tried:

  • Reinstalled VS Code entirely and re-synced to my Github profile
  • Disabled all extensions
  • Uninstalled all extensions
