Hi, thanks for reporting this!

As pointed out by the log message, not all debugger drivers support restarting the program while it is executing. This is the same when debugging in Embedded Workbench and it is not something we can address from this VS Code extension.

However, failing to restart should not cause the debugger to become unresponsive. I've tracked this down to a bug in VS Code which I've reported here:
microsoft/vscode#237414
Once it is fixed, the debugger should stay responsive after a failed restart.
