Please use the Start Extension Bisect command to investigate whether the problem is being caused by one of your extensions.

[andrewtoups]

I just used the Extension Bisect feature and the problem was not resolved.

[mjbvz]

Did you disable the built-in JS/TS language extension? Search @builtin Javascript in the extensions view and make sure TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features is still enabled

[andrewtoups]

Hey that was it! I don't know how it got disabled but that did the trick. Thanks!
