Hi! In your Amazon Q VS Code settings, do you have the "Amazon Q: Workspace Index Use GPU" enabled? Alternatively, do you have "Amazon Q: Workspace Index" enabled? If so, is it possible for you to try turning those off and then restart or reload VS Code? Thank you!

I have un-checked both "Amazon Q: Workspace Index Use GPU" and "Amazon Q: Workspace Index" and then restarted the VS Code, but still same issue...

Hi @naeem-zenkoders ,

Is it possible for you to remove this folder c:\Users\naeem\.vscode\extensions\amazonwebservices.amazon-q-vscode-1.44.0\resources\qserver entirely and then restart VS Code?

I was able to reproduce such issue by manually removing the onnxruntime_binding.node. It seems like the operation system removed this .node file for some reason or the download process went wrong at some point. By removing the folder entirely, at the time of extension restarts, the Q extension will download necessary libraries one more time to start the language server.

Seeing such error prompt of LSP not starting will not affect the majority of Amazon Q features.

Feel free to provide more logs for us to triage why the .node file is missing.

Thanks,
Lei

Thank you so much Lei, I have applied your suggestions and then started VS Code, it was good for a while but soon after the error came again.
