I am a beginner who is learning to use the VSCode extension API in order to build my own extension. I know that extension developers can create their own commands to be provided in the command palette by specyfying them within the package.json file.

While using VS Code to debug a remote Ubuntu Linux (apache2) web server/application, my Windows 11 PC resets on a seemingly random basis. No BSOD, no memory dump; just a black screen and a restart of the computer.

I’m developing a Visual Studio Code extension, and i’ve already created a package for it.
But when i install the package the colors i listed in the package.json are not loaded, only if i reload the window.
That causes the icons it adds at the explorer’s and extension’s view to be gray until the window is reloaded.
The contributes.colors part of the extension’s package.json:
