PlatformIO IDE install and running issues with proxy

Hi
I am having problems with PltaformIO installation. This problem is very similar to issue posted over 3 years ago:

community.platformio.org/t/platformio-ide-in-vscode-cant-connect-to-the-internet-blocked-by-proxy/5449

I have followed all the steps but still no solution. Such as installing manually and different proxy settings.

I am running vscode version 1.86.0 under windows 11. Basically, platform IO was working fine. Now every time I start VScode I have to install as an extension. I install but is hangs and gives a proxy error. VS code says it has been installed on the install list but I cannot use it as it just gives proxy and timeout errors after installition.

As per the previous post I use proxy setting such as:

“http.proxySupport”: “on”,
“http.proxy”: “http://user:pass@proxysettings”,
“http.proxyStrictSSL”: false,
“http.proxyAuthorization”: null

where user, pass and proxy settings are my own settings. These settings are correct as I have to use them to install new python packages through pip.

Is anyone else currently having problems with this issue?

Please file an issue in https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/issues/ to get in contact with the developers.

Could you remove %HOMEDIR%/.platformio folder and restart VSCode?
