Type: Bug
After updating VSCode, when you have multiple windows open connected to remotes, all but the first one will fail to connect and display the following error:

Looks like there is a race condition to download the server.
(I've seen more race conditions like this, possibly on the remote side. Generally multiple open projects work quite poorly when anything is updated)
