I finally tried it, and it worked! Just as test I changed it back 
to Progra~2, and it still workded. Maybe just the modified date 
change of extensions.configurationchanged was needed? Anyway, 
thanks. Hopefully something that can be 'fixed' in the installer.

Just as reference, the VS community path is C:\Program 
Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2022\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions
