Yes, same for me. It used to ask permissions to open the link in the external browser but it had already opened one window before asking. After eventually I clicked "dont ask again", now always 2 windows are opened.

I'm using Windows 11 Pro. And using v1.141.0 of VS Code now. And it still happens.

What setting was that exactly? Because that might be usable as workaround.
