Visual Studio Code - ESP IDF Extension 1.4 Build Hanging

[highskies]

Hi,

The build is hanging for ever in Visual Studio code. When ever the project is opened in the ide , the following message appears in the terminal.

Setting PYTHONNOUSERSITE, was not set
Using Python in D:\myprojects\ESP32\hello_world\
'null' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Using Git in C:\Users\highsky\.espressif\tools\idf-git\2.34.2\cmd\git version 2.34.1.windows.1

When the Build command is issued, it hangs for ever. No messages are printed in the terminal.

Environment :
Windows : 11
Python Path : C:\Python38
IDF : version 4.4 : Installed through idf tools for windows as the installation though the extension failed
Visual Studio Code : 1.66.2
IDF Visual Studio Code Extension : 1.4
Python.exe and Python3.exe was removed from C:\Users\highsky\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps
Project is created using "ESP-IDE Show Example projects".


I tried installing Visual studio Code, IDF extension, IDF multiple time with no success. Any pointers are highly appreciated.
