same issue here i had to Disable the extension

Same. All other extensions started loading infinitely. I investigated through the built-in "Extension Bisect" and found this extension as the cause (after 13.02.2026 global update)

Can you confirm whether this happens when you open VS Code (during indexing), or if it only happens while typing?

[Mustafa-KH-Hamad]

personally i had it open and i was working
all of sudden everything froze i couldn't see my git status in vs code i couldn't use search and vs code automatically showed error message referring to the extension that takes too much time to load .

I am also facing same issue, and after disabling it, my vscode is working normally.

Same for me, it completely breaks VSC, after disabling all extensions and re-enabling everything but this one, things went back to normal. Notice that the extension was working perfectly until a recent update.

It is breaking VScode, I've disabled the extension and VSCode started working again.
