This happens for me without waiting.
Opening a new window opens a (total blank window - no UI)

update
FWIW: my ocurrance seemed to be caused by a network issue - it resolved itself (its now working "normal" again)

[Duncank]

Same here; it happens when opening a new window from the Windows task bar, from within the File menu in VSCode and by switching directories.

If I open a workspace file or rightclick -> open in code from the file explorer, a new window opens correctly.

Merging to #128977

[deepak1556]

Can anyone confirm if you tried to execute Open New External Terminal (workbench.action.terminal.openNativeConsole) action (Ctrl+Shift+C) before the issue started to happen ?

[SorataBaka]

@deepak1556 after testing it does indeed only happen once i hit ctrl shift n or open an external console.
