Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.74.2. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I believe the problem is with the proxy. When I try to install a module, I encounter the following:

WARNING: Retrying (Retry(total=4, connect=None, read=None, redirect=None, status=None)) after connection broken by 'ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', Connection ResetError(10054, 'An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host', None, 10054, None))': /simple/pandas/

Can you start the application with --log-net-log=netlog.json and perform the steps that cause the failing request. Quit the application and attach the generated netlog.json file.

Does the issue repro when you disable the proxy ?

How to open the application with --log-net-log=netlog.json?

[deepak1556]

You need to start the application from a command line, ex: powershell with the above flag. code.cmd --log-net-log=netlog.json

I did that but I could not find the netlog.json file. Is supposed to be in the same directory as the application or in a different directory?

[deepak1556]

Can you try passing an absolute path instead

[Hussainsmg]

I got an error: ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(553)

I think it is better to just deal with the problem as if I do not have Internet Access (Offline). I will get all the extensions and packages locally and then install them

Can you share a recording of what steps you tried with the command line flag ?

First I change the directory to the location of visual studio code application and then wrote: code.exe --log-net-log=netlog.json

The second time I wrote: "path" --log-net-log=netlog.json

I solved the problem by installing all the extensions (.VSIX) files from the Marketplace and ensuring they were compatible with the VS Code version I have. Then I opened the settings.json and added

"http.proxy":"http://proxyname:port"

It seems like the problem is that VS Code was trying to connect to the internet and was blocked when installing some extensions. This PC is blocked from connecting to some websites (security reasons) and the best way I found was to install the extensions manually.

Having the same issue on a recent install, is there a stable version I can move too?
