I instaled anysphere.remote-containers and I don’t have the “attach to running container” option (see atached screenshot). I only have two extensions installed:
anysphere.remote-wsl 1.0.0anysphere.remote-containers 1.0.2
Clicking on “Dev Container” installs the MS Dev Container extension (which also doesn’t work) and disables the Remote Anywhere one.
