Is it possible to turn of the HA linting in VSCode Studio?
It reports errors everywhere, because I use Lovelace_gen, which from time to time makes it go haywire and use 100% CPU resources.
What happens if you disable the Home Assistant Helper Extension?
That might do it, but I have not found a place to disable it. 
Huh. That’s weird. The extension is clearly installed in the add-on but no extensions are listed as being installed. It even says so in the documentation:
Edit: There are no user adjustable settings under Settings/Extensions/Home Assistant Helper. Looks like it is locked down.
Okay, thanks.
That means I have not gone blind, which is a relief.
