Cannot activate the 'Pylance' extension because it depends on the 'Python' extension, which is not loaded. Would you like to reload the window to load the extension?

Python and pylance have been installed. It was able to run a few days ago, but suddenly it can’t be run today

Looks like you might have a bad update. Do the following to remove stale versions of the extension:

1. Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first).
2. Close all instances of VS Code.
3. Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Linux/Mac.
4. Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
5. Start VS Code, and install Python extension (also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).

Please provide the extension version when you file the bug.
