VSC slowdowns after recent update

I'm not exactly sure what is going on and i'm not sure how to properly debug it, but after recent update of something (doubt that it's any of my extensions, most of them update one few months, probably vsc itself) i started randomly seeing VSC getting hang up on something, so a few symptoms:

Everything seems to freeze for a 5-10 seconds and i cant:

  1. search components using ctrl + p
  2. source control window shows a horizontal loader and also unresponsive
  3. codex extension doesnt let me send a message
  4. in the bottom right i see 'getting code actions' usually it's eslint, but i tried disabling it and still got the same message, just for a different extension

V8: 14.2.231.22-electron.0

OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200

I'm working inside WSL on windows

I suspect that it's happening because of recent update, it happened 2 days ago and this problem i'm getting started appearing also 2 days ago, but i'm not sure how can i prove (at least for myself for piece of mind) that this is happening because of update

Is there a way to rollback to previous version?
