Actual behavior

The easiest fix is to use Disable CSharpier Server option - https://csharpier.com/docs/EditorsTroubleshooting#known-issues

There are logs written by the server that may help figure out why the server process can't be started, but at the moment they are a bit buried. The path would be something like below.
