Serial monitor failed when restart the Arduino board

Serial monitor failed when I restart the Arduino board(ESP8266), like this ...

But the same action in Arduino IDE is OK!

• Arduino IDE Version: 1.8.12
• VS Code Version: 1.43.2
• VS Code Arduino Extension Version: 0.3.0
• OS: Win8.1 Pro

It looks like the same issue as #1015(Serial Monitor keeps ESP devices in flash mode), Will serial monitor work if unplug and re-plug the ESP8266?

Yes, It's the same problem.
