Update: I was able to have the SDK work with VSCode 1.73.1 and the nrf-connect 2.2.0.

Thanks for your input Glen, it pointed me to the right direction!

Thanks a lot for your reply, it could in fact be a problem with revisions and updates....in my case, I tried to downgrade to VSCode 1.74 update 3, but it doesn't seem to help for the moment....could you please tell me which nordic SDK version you are using? I tried with both the 2.2.0 and the 2.2.99-dev3 but I still get the same issue.

Mine is broken this morning - and it worked yesterday. When I click on the nRF Connect extension where you build and do all the work it just says "loading" forever. I think they've broken VSCode again with an automatic update. I'm going to downgrade to the previous version and see if it fixes things.

Edit: Yeah - that was the problem for me.
