Steps to Reproduce:

1. Update VSCode in windows (which happens automatically after closing most nights)
2. Don't open any project in WSL
3. Open a dev container project from the recent projects list

The way I resolve this is to

1. Open VSCode first not connected to WSL or a container - make sure it's up to date
2. Run the "New WSL Window" command, or open a project in WSL from the recent projects list - this updates the VSCode server in wsl
3. Open a dev container project, either from recent projects or "reopen in container" - then this works

Skipping step 2 causes step 3 to fail.

Does this issue occur when you try this locally?: N/A Does this issue occur when you try this locally and all extensions are disabled?: N/A

Could you attach the log from when it fails? (F1 > Remote-Containers: Show Containers Log)

[OldStarchy]

Is that different to the log included above? I copied it from the log window after it failed to start. Next time I get this error I'll do as you said to see if its a different log.

[chrmarti]

Missed that, thanks. Same as https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7464, continuing there.

Note that https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/7464#issuecomment-1338907216 suggests that updating to the latest Docker Compose might fix it. Let us know the outcome if you try that. Thanks.
