I have been using the VS Code extensions for setting up and building projects. Sometime yesterday build times went up from < 20 seconds to 10+ minutes. It looks like it's hanging up and waiting for some kind of timeout. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the extensions and also removed the toolchain/sdk and re-downloaded them with no success. I have included a screenshot of where it gets hung and waits.
Thank you!
Daniel
I had a similar experience recently. Mine would hang where you show it for a while and then it would continue to build (slowly). I looked in task manager and there were hundreds of "git for windows" tasks spawned by vscode and manually killing those fixed it for me.
Might not be the same problem, but worth a shot.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like that's the case here... I was hoping it would be that simple!

Hi Daniel,
Did this issue occur after any updates? Could you attach the Support Information from the VSCode extension?

Hi! I am not aware of any updates that would have happened. Upon a closer look, it looks like it is hanging up any time west attempts to search for the toolchain, device tree, or generate the device tree output
