Direct path to remote directory not working in VS Code 1.80

[bdanziger3]

In the newest version of VS Code (1.80) My projects that have a destination path of a directory in a remote system fail to connect to the remote server (project path used: User@Hostname/C:/Users/User/path/to/repo)

This path works for me when I downgrade back to VS Code 1.79.

Both my machine and the remote machine are Windows machines

I'm experiencing this too in 1.80.1. Something under the hood is throwing errors repeatedly about ENOPRO: No file system provider found for resource and Not an authority.
