Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install powershell kernel and point to pwsh with the following command
2. python -m powershell_kernel.install --powershell-command pwsh
3. create a powershell notebook and verify that the $psversiontable shows v7
4. close and re-open azure data studio
5. as soon as i open the powershell notebook it asks me to configure python
6. as part of the configuration it installs the powershell kernel again
7. check the powershell version inside the notebook and its now back to v5

Would like to know why azure data studio is prompting me to configure python on each launch of the app.
same issue as this person:
#13215

but it seems the issue then was resolved by using current or existing python but hasnt resolved it for me.
I have selected "current python" in the settings.

Seems that this was fixed in a PR some time agio but has got overwritten by a more recent merge?
