Not noticing installed extensions

[Notenlish]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes(the problem is that it doesn't notice installed extensions)

• VS Code Version: 1.75.1(user setup)
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22621 (Windows 11)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. I dont really know how can I add steps to reproduce since i have no idea how it happened.

Basically, VSCode doesn't remember that it has installed extensions so everytime I open the application, it shows me 0 extensions. I've checked .vscode folder and extension folders are there, vscode doesn't know they're there though. I searched online and saw no mentions of this issue.

Extensions that exist on .vscode(displaynames in package.json):
GitHub Copilot
isort
Python
PyLance
Jupyter
Jupyter Keymap
Jupyter Notebook Renderers
Jupyter Cell Tags
Jupyter Slide Show
Live Preview
SQLite Viewer

extensions.json file in .vscode:
extensions.zip

I've deleted the .vscode folder, uninstalled and reinstalled vscode, but the issue is still there, also I forgot to mention but the extensions do work when they're first installed

I downloaded an older vscode version and the issue doesn't happen in 1.74.1

@Notenlish Can you please delete the extensions.json file and restart VS Code? extensions.json file shall be recreated on restart. Share the file after it is recreated.

the old json file:
extensions-old.zip
the new json file after deleting the file and restarting vscode:
extensions-new.zip
the issue still exists after deleting it by the way
