This is my environment:
IDE: VSC v1.82.1 with nRF Connect for VS Code Extension v2023.9.169
SDK: NCS v2.2.0
I am now unable to add and build any of the examples for nRF Connect SDK. Seems to have occured since the latest update to VSC, although that may be coincidental.
Steps I am following:
1. From within VSC, select "Create a new application"
2. Select "Copy a sample"
3. Select the sample I want - in this case its the advanced_non_blocking_internal_timer example
4. Select the directory where I want the files to go - I'm just putting these in the normal location I put all the samples on my C:/
It then comes up with an error, to say it failed to create the application. In the output window in VSC, I get this:

5. I can see all the files on my C:/, so I just barge ahead and go an open and existing application, navigating to the application folder for the above example that was created.
6. I attempt to create a new build configuration, using these settings:
And this kicks up the following errors (sorry, but it won't let me insert it as "code" for some reason)

Is anyone else having similar problems? Any ideas how to fix it?
