I also had this issue. Had to delete the remote .vscode-server folder and let it get re-created. There was a node-js missing module that did not get automatically installed, even with update cli forced. After deleting the folder and re-creating things are back to normal. Sadly I think the logs were in the folder that was wiped, so I can't provide those.

My VSCode Insiders won't load remote ssh sessions after a recent update

@mouliangyu @dhirschfeld-ffma @BarnikRB Could you please make sure you are running the latest version of Remote SSH extension? There was a bug fix in it for SSH issues just a few days ago. Please let us know if this resolves the problem.

confirmed on 1.123 macOS, downgraded to 1.122 and it worked. deleting the servers .vscode-server and trying to let it reinstall on 1.123 did not work.

If you go to Extensions (in 1.123) and check this extension, which version do you see?

was 0.123.0, I thought that was latest. I can try 0.125.0 but when I select update to specific version only shows 0.124.0
