MXCHIP AZ3166 serial port button not work

[br1pro]

I'm following this tutorial https://microsoft.github.io/azure-iot-developer-kit/docs/get-started/ to connect my AZ3166 to Iot Hub.
The tutorial explain how to run the "Get started" tutorial.
In the section "Build your first project" I'm blocked at point 5. If I click on the "select serial port" button in the right down corner, nothing happens.
I'm using the last firmware 1.6.2 and visual studio code on a win10 pc.

The serial port works well if I try to open it from Putty, so I think this is a VScode issue

I have the same issue (also latest versions) an direct serial port works well. The only strange thing I have, is one old project I have, I see the serial port and I can deploy code to the device. When I create a new IoT workbench project, I cannot select the serial port anymore or open other projects.

This is happened since vs code 1.36 released last week, we're working on the fix
