VS Code 1.107 fails to start on Azure Virtual Desktop

This has been a reoccurring issue since version 1.100. We recently updated VS Code on all AVD's to version 1.107.1 and single user desktops run the application without issue; on multi-session desktops the application fails to start.

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/252407

Is there a fix or workaround available?

    Hey, so I was able to successfully roll back to 1.106.2 and the issue was solved- but it brought another issue that's breaking the Jupyter notebooks extension... gotta love MS...

    I had tried VSCodeSEtup-x64-1.96.4.

    installed on an AVD vm, it will not launch unless run as administrator.

    if installed on an on-prem device, it opens fine.

    I see some reference to that say newer FSLogix profile versions cause the problem but the AVD pool in question has the supposed "good" FSLogix version.
