There is an issue with the vscode python extension version 2022.4.0

just downgrade to version 2022.2.1924087327 and it will work as it works for me now

Just follow these steps:

Go to extensions.
Click on Gear Icon for the installed extension
Click on Install Another Version
select the version you wish to install

I think its the VS Code Python Extension. In VS Code select the Python Extension and select the Uninstall dropdown to install a previous version, the 2022.2.xxx fixed this issue.install previous version
