Error "timed out Waiting for Launcher to connect" when trying to run in python in vscode

Question

I have recently been having problems trying to run python code in vscode. It just started happening out of the blue. I’ve tried reinstalling vscode and python. But this problem insists on appearing.

Next to the error box comes the option "open 'Launch.json". Clicking on it appears:

            "program": "${file}",
            "console": "integratedTerminal"
        }
    ]
}
