    I'm not able to reproduce this. Can you share the output from GitHub Authentication?

    Execute "GitHub Pull Requests: Sign in to GitHub" command, the program shows the log [Authentication] Creating hub for .com, but no additional action. (My vscode account is already logged in.)

    Are you using a proxy?

    Are you using a proxy?

    I'm not using a proxy. But I found the cue.

    My PC is connected to an embedded device through the physical Ethernet port with IP 192.168.*, and after unplugging the device, this extension works correctly. I have two other kinds of devices with IP addresses 169.254.* and 10.14.* are fine to use.

    My internet comes from the Wi-Fi device. Maybe this issue is about the Windows network metric? But other vscode functions are working expectantly. (like git and copilot)

    I also have another USB Ethernet port; the behavior is the same.

    If the login is successful, it is able to connect with 192.168.* devices.

    Also experiencing this issue. A message shows up "Not Found - https://docs.github.com/rest/repos/repos#get-a-repository". But otherwise the extension is blank. If I roll back to 0.154.0 and other previous version I get a "Loading..." status displaying but nothing else.
