preLaunchTask base path not consistent #75084
Description
Issue Type: Bug
This is new in release 1.35.0. When a VSCode workspace is launched from a Windows shortcut it calculates the task path relative to the VSCode install path and when a workspace is loaded manually in a running VSCode instance the path is calculated relative the workspace path.
This now makes it impossible to have a consistent preLaunchTask configuration that works in either case.
