Issue launching extension ("spawn EINVAL")

[b-rhodes]

Describe the bug Whenever I open VSCode, I get a little panel popping up saying "Help panel unavailable", and then when I look at the extension runtime status, it has:

Uncaught Errors (1)

spawn EINVAL

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open VSCode
2. Click on 'extensions'
3. Scroll down to 'R'
4. Click on 'FEATURES' tab
5. Click on 'Runtime Status'
6. See the error

Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)

No

I found some error in the extension host output:

still haven't managed to find a fix for this, so I've just been putting up with it or swapping to Positron when I desperately need the features.

I've stopped having this issue, but I'm not sure what fixed it. I reinstalled VSCode and R several times.
