"Error: Claude Code process exited with code 3221225785"

TL;DR

Downgrade the Claude Code extension to version 2.1.117 to avoid the silent crash issue.

Guidance

• The error message "Error: Claude Code process exited with code 3221225785" indicates a process termination issue, likely due to a compatibility problem introduced in version 2.1.118.
• To verify the issue, try opening a new session with the Claude extension in VS Code on a Windows 10 1803 PC with version 2.1.119 installed.
• Downgrading to version 2.1.117 has been reported to fix the issue, so this can be used as a temporary workaround.
• If possible, try to reproduce the issue on a different platform or with a different version of Windows to see if the problem is specific to Windows 10 1803.
