Small (less than 10MiB) size case

Can you post your environment parameters, like Operation System, VS Code version, Python version and extension version? In another hand, VS Code is essentially a text editor, which depends on extensions to go on development, so it'll take some time to load python extension and environment. Check if python extension uses high cpu load, and if it's indeed high, the production group explained in Extension cause high cpu load that: All these cases are due to how the extension tries to find and figure out the details about the interpreter. We are in the process of refactoring the code that does interpreter discovery. One of the thing we are making sure is to reduce the number of python processes we create while figuring out interpreter info. Another Python extension loading super slow is because production group try to run python for each of the installed and know virtual environments. We are working on refactoring how we look for environments to avoid this on extension load.

Please update the python extension to the latest version

or install the pre-release version directly. ( may be more useful to you )

this will basically solve your problem.

If the error continues, follow these steps:

Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first). Uninstall any other extension that is failing.

Close all instances of VS Code.

Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Linux/Mac.

Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*

Start VS Code, and install Python extension (also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).

I was having this issue and tried the above answer and it still didn't work. It turns out I hadn't installed python on my system yet. I didn't realize because I normally use it remotely.

From the VSCode documentation:

Quick start

Step 1. Install a supported version of Python on your system (note: that the system install of Python on macOS is not supported).

Step 2. Install the Python extension for Visual Studio Code.

Step 3. Open or create a Python file and start coding!

Small (less than 10MiB) size case

Open plain .py file in same VSCode window.
Close all notebooks.
Open your notebooks again.

Bigger size case

First of all, I suggest you to wait a bit - due to VSCode extensions render overhead, loading the notebook may took times more time than in your browser. If it doesn't help in adequate time:

Open the notebook in browser.
Clear all its outputs.
Reload VSCode window (e.g. using Command Pallette: Ctrl+Shift+P->Reload Window)

When I reopened VS Code and immediately opened "Interactive", I also encountered the same problem, sometimes it could not be opened, sometimes it was very slow.

Reason: In VS Code, Since the "Interactive" function is provided by the extension "python", it needs to load the extension "python", then start this function and execute the code.

Solution:

It is recommended that you create or open a python file (.py file) after opening VS Code, wait for the extension and language service to load, and then open and use the "Interactive" function. In addition, in order to shorten the loading time, please disable VS Code extensions that you don't need to use and ensure a good network.

If all the required items are loaded but the "Interactive" window is still open and running slowly, please try to close other applications on the computer and reload or restart VSCode.

(Posted solution on behalf of the question author).

OK - I deleted the VS Code profile folder

'%APPDATA%\Roaming\Code

and installed fresh extension along with miniconda, and it is working fine.

This seems to be an annoying problem that is caused by other extensions. Best way I fixed mine was:

To disable all the extensions
Enable ms-python extension
Reload vs-code and voila, it's all fixed
