This is a known issue with the Copilot Language Server. The most common fix is antivirus/firewall blocking.

Quick fix: Add Copilot to your antivirus exclusions.

If that doesn't work, try in this order:

1. Sign out of Copilot and sign back in
2. Delete %userprofile%\.gh-copilot folder (Windows) or ~/.gh-copilot (Mac/Linux)
3. Disable other AI/code assistant extensions (TabNine, CodeGeeX, etc.)
4. Check VS Code is updated to latest version
5. Try turning off VPN if you're using one

The root cause is usually security software blocking the language server from starting. Adding exclusions fixes it for most users.
