Extension is not activating and generation error in developer windowconsole
HI Im finding the extension is unreliable activating. It might be related to using .tcl files as ive seen some messages wrt "tcl" (I do use .tcl files)
I see this error in the developer tools console.
Im on Windows 11, use remove development hand have the latest version of VS Code and the Extensions loaded.

@derekwallace,
Wow, that should not happen. Thank you for reporting.
Im on Windows 11, use remove development hand have the latest version of VS Code and the Extensions loaded.
I'm guess you mean: "I'm on Windows 11, use remote development, and have the latest..."
A few questions:
- Does this happen on all projects?
- Only remote projects or local ones too.
Any more information would be useful.
@derekwallace,
Please install the latest pre-release of the spell checker. At the moment, it is 4.0.23.
I believe the root cause what the remote .vscode-server folder. it was full and vscode was mis-behaving. VS Code seems to keep old installations of the server and these build up over time to consume GB of data. we have a restriction of 5GB in a home account. I have deleted many of the old installation folders .. and everything is OK now.
HI this is back happening again. the extension will not load and the console shows this error.
I have gone the usual things to try and got the extension working.. (enable / disable / uninstall / re-install / clean out .vscode-server) ... to no avail.
It was workign .. then stops and cant get working again.
hoping you can trace a reason based on the error message. regards derek
@derekwallace,
I'll publish a new pre-release version soon that will improve the reporting of the startup error. At the moment, I'm not sure where it is happening.
I have more information. We use copilot. If I'm logged out of github, the c spell does not run. When I log into github to enable copilot then c spel starts working.
@derekwallace,
That is strange. I wonder what is going on. Are you getting the same error? I have changed some things to give a bit more information when the error occurs.
I will try toggling the GitHub login myself.
@derekwallace,
Would you give the steps needed to make it happen? I have tried logging out of GitHub and restarting VS Code, but the issues doesn't seem to happen. The spell checker is working just fine. Maybe if you have the exact steps to reproduce the issue, I can check out what is happening.
