Can't open remote ssh directory after update - linux

Question

I have been using VSCode on a Windows laptop for an ssh remote directory on a Linux machine. Things were working fine until an update of VSCode 1.68.0 and now I can't open the remote directory.
On Windows, the output says:

$
When I was first having trouble, I did rm -rf .vscode to fix things but it didn't help.
Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I tried to start VSCode again today. At first I thought it had the same problem but it looks like things are working ok now and I got in!
