Discussion:
Type: <bBug</bI already filed this bug in the Pylance repository (microsoft/pylance-release), but it got closed because the Pylance devs think it's a problem with VSCode rather than with Pylance. Both files contain only Pylance + all its dependencies. the files , and . the VSCode profile from . This should work as expected. the Python file in VSCode and wait till Pylance is loaded (you might need to "trust" the window). the VSCode profile from . Here the error appears! The second VSCode profile should load and activate itself. The Pylance extension should be installed correctly and no error should appear. When the second VSCode profile is imported the following error notification appears: Unable to delete the existing folder 'c:Users<username.vscodeextensionsms-' while installing the extension 'ms-'. Please delete the folder manually and try again The profile is imported, but without Pylance. Additionally, Pylance is removed from the first profile as well!

I tried it and I cannot repro. May I know if you can reproduce this consistently?
I can still reproduce consistently on every try. I a minimal Python file to the repro.
I can repro while there are some exts depend on c#
I tried again with the same steps and provided profiles and I cannot repro. If you are able to repro consistently, can you please share following logs F1 Open View... Shared F1 Open View... Window
