I recently upgraded to Julia 1.6.0, and everything is working fine when calling Julia from the command line. However, when using Julia within an IDE–whether VSCode, Atom/Juno, or Jupyter Lab–I get an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error whenever I attempt to import a non-core package.
I am using Windows 10 Home version 20H2.
Steps to reproduce in VSCode:
- Install Julia 1.6.0, VSCode, and the Julia language extension.
- Install a Julia package, like
ForwardDiff. - Create or open a new Julia project in VSCode. In the example below, I ran Julia with the
--projectflag, but this doesn’t make a difference. - Create a blank
.jlfile, typeusing ForwardDiff, and run it.
The error shown below appears.

I use VSCode version 1.55.2 and Julia VSCode version 1.1.38.
I submitted a bug report to Julia VSCode, but I am not sure if the problem is VSCode specific or not, because I have similar issues in Atom/Juno as I posted previously and in Jupyter Lab.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? What other details can I provide about my environment that might shed some light?
I have also tried calling Pkg.instantiate() as suggested here with no luck:
