title: Visual Studio Code: Spawn UNKNOWN
body: <p>There are multiple other posts reporting this, but they are related to javascript frameworks, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I get this error when opening any <code>.php</code> extension file and the error pops up at the top and it always blocks the tabs, very annoying.</p>
