Another case from #186315 is interesting: I do not think using a profile is a good idea for when extensions require a window reload to be disabled. So you need to then probably ask the user to reload the window or do it automatically.

idea for when extensions require a window reload to be disabled.

AFAIK every extension requires a window reload after being disabled (except for package-json only extensions). We cannot unload code from extensions and cannot enforce them not doing anything anymore. There we always reload the window or at least the extension host

@bpasero While switching profiles we restart extension host. You say this is not enough to unload extensions?
Also while trusting/untrusting a workspace.

No, only those that are activate with code loaded.

Here are steps:

• fresh user data dir, fresh extensions dir
• create an empty profile
• install SSH extension
• notice how the remote explorer view appears
• delete the profile
• notice how the remote explorer view is still there, same as the status bar entry for remote

@bpasero I see this can be reproduced with above steps. But Remote Explorer view disappears with switching profile. So I think this is a bug (either in views or profiles) when profile is deleted. But status bar entries always appear.
