VS Code fails to find jupyter kernels once Python extension is installed

[MarkusMiller]

Hello,

so, I've installed Anaconda, created an environment and installed a kernel. When I use VS Code to edit my notebooks, everything's fine. However, form time to time, the Python extension gets installed without much asking for consent and every time that happens, VS Code stops recognizing my installed kernels. How can I either make the kernels work along the Python extension or prohibit the extension from being installed without me clicking any "install button"?

Kind regards and thanks

Markus
