VS Code debugging in Python times out

Question

I've been using VSCode for the last 3.5 years without any major issue and since a couple of weeks, I can't seem to debug my Python program.
Whenever I start the debugger, it "does something" and then a small popup shows up

Is there anything I can do? This is really becoming a serious issue and I'm considering switching to another IDE. I tried rollbacking to previous versions and it does not help.
Could it be related to my recent upgrade to Windows 11? Is the timeout configurable?

Thanks

Hello @Jean-Sebastien Vachon ,

Thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Visual Studio Code(VS Code) and Visual Studio IDE(VS) are two different products, and VS Code is currently not supported in the Microsoft Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products/

Hello, I don't know why but this is less and less of an issue for me. It does happen from time to time but not as often as before. I guess it could be related to the version of VSCode you are using. I remember spending much time inspecting every single logs of vscode to identify the cause but with little success to be honnest

good luck
