Issue Title:

Severe Performance Issues and Freezing on Basic File Operations (Save, Delete, Copy) in a Clean Install

Issue Body :

Version: 1.101.2 (also occurs on the latest version)
OS: Windows 11 (24H2 26100.4770) date:2025/2/5

I am experiencing a critical issue that has made VS Code completely unusable for my work. Basic file operations such as saving, deleting, and copying files take an extremely long time and cause the entire editor to freeze.

This problem persists even on a completely clean installation of VS Code with no extensions and no custom settings.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Perform a clean uninstall of VS Code, including removing user data directories (.vscode, etc.).
2. Install a fresh copy of VS Code (I have tested both the latest version and an older version, 1.101.2).
3. Do not install any extensions.
4. Do not log in to sync settings. Ensure settings.json is an empty object ({}).
5. Open any project (especially a JavaScript/TypeScript project).
6. Try to perform any of the following actions:
   • Save a file.
   • Delete a file from the explorer sidebar.
   • Copy a file from another VS Code window into the current window's explorer.

Expected Behavior:

File operations (save, delete, copy) should be nearly instantaneous.

Actual Behavior:

All of these operations are incredibly slow and cause the editor to hang. The status bar displays the following messages for an extended period:

1. When saving a file: The process is extremely long, showing messages like:

   • Getting code actions from 'TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features (configure).
   • Applying code action "Organize imports.
     (Related to issue: Organizing imports on save hangs indefinitely #233515)

2. When deleting a file: The process is extremely long, showing the message:

   • Running 'File Delete' participants.
     (Related to issue: Running 'File Delete' participants... #128263)

3. When copying a file: The process is also extremely long, showing the message:

   • Running 'File Copy' participants.
     (Related to issue: "File" participants running minutes #132726)

Additional Context:

This issue is a complete blocker for me. I have spent the entire day troubleshooting without success. My troubleshooting steps include:

• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code multiple times.
• Testing both the latest stable version and the May 2024 release (1.101.2).
• Ensuring zero extensions are installed.
• Ensuring my settings.json is empty and I am not signed in to an account for settings sync.
• Rebooting my computer multiple times.

The problem persists on what should be a completely "vanilla" VS Code instance. It seems something fundamental is broken. At this point, VS Code is failing at tasks more basic than a simple text editor, making it impossible to use for any development work. I urgently need a solution as I am unable to work.

• Testing multiple versions: I have repeatedly tested the latest version (1.102.3) and the problem persists. The decision to downgrade to 1.101.2 was a troubleshooting step to see if the issue was a recent regression, but the problem remained on the older version as well.
• Completely uninstalling and reinstalling VS Code multiple times.
• Ensuring zero extensions are installed.
• Ensuring my settings.json is empty and I am not signed in to an account for settings sync.
  Rebooting my computer multiple times.
