VSCode requires me to re-select my python interpreter each time it starts

Question

[edited!] Everytime I start Microsoft Visual Code, I get the following alert:

This behavior started a few days ago (after a windows's update). I can select the python interpreter and after that, everything works just fine. From within vscode, I can open a terminal in my virtual environment and I can launch the debugger for django.

The problem is that once I quit vscode, it forgets. Next time I start it up, I have to repeat the process. I have to do it every time.

My environment is:

Windows 11 wsl2 Ubuntu 22.04 pyenv (python 3.9.15 selected) poetry

I've tried the following:

1. Researched issue.
2. Tried Python: Clear Cache
3. Rollback of Python extension to version 2021-02. Restored to latest.

I'm out of ideas at this point. Is this a configuration issue? Any other ideas on how I can resolve this? This may be an extension issue, but I want to make sure I'm not doing something incorrect with visual code.

Answer 1

Apparently, this was an extension issue. I followed the github link to the python extension project and found a recently closed bug that looked similar. One of the comments suggested I try the pre-release version and my issue is no longer reproducible. Thanks everyone for the help.
