Could not start PIO Home server

@mbarney and @maxgerhardt thanks for the discussion.
I had a similar problem of “PIO Home” tools not working with Windows10. Not been working for 6months. The local build was working.
I’ve followed a lot of the suggestions, completely reinstalling VSC.
Finally I manually deleted .platformio
which really stopped everything.
After following manual install from cmd, and then on code directories executing
pio test
they downloaded the tools (amaazzzing) and rebuilt it.
Switching back to VSC it all worked, and PIO Home now comes up.
many thanks for sharing.
