PlatformIO shows up as pioarduino?

Just today, I opened VS Code to see that PIO Home shows up as pioarduino. I have never even installed it. I have searched everywhere but have not found a solution. My OS is Windows 11.

It may have been sufficient to have compiled a project that uses PIOArduino? Not sure.

You can always nuke your PlatformIO core installation and extension by just

  1. Removing the PIOArduino / PlatformIO extension in VSCode
  2. Closing VSCode
  3. Deleting <home directory>/.platformio
  4. Restarting VSCode
  5. Reinstalling the PlatformIO extension
  6. Waiting for the core to be reinstalled automatically.

Thank you so much, it worked!
