I keep on getting these messages on the bottom right corner of my screen when opening up VS code. Any idea on how to get rid of it?

I can still write code and run the code fine but I don’t understand why this is happening.

I’ve tried by deleting the python extension and anything related to python in the video extensions tab, but no luck.

this will basically solve your problem.

If the error continues, follow these steps:

  1. Uninstall Python extension (if you have pylance uninstall it first). Uninstall any other extension that is failing.
  2. Close all instances of VS Code.
  3. Go to, %USERPROFILE%/.vscode/extensions (on windows) or ~/.vscode/extensions on Linux/Mac.
  4. Delete any folder with the name starting with ms-python.python*
  5. Start VS Code, and install Python extension (also pylance if you uninstalled it in step 1).
