I just updated VSCode Remote Insider and I can't connect to my host through VSCode anymore.

I tried to uninstall my local VSCode Insider and restart it, but it didn't help. Then, I removed the .vscode-remote-insider directory on my host. However, VSCode remote can't re-install a remote service as the old one is still running. The following is the output from my local VSCode client.

[email protected] win32 x64 SSH Resolver called for "ssh-remote", attempt 1 SSH Resolver called for host: 121 Setting up SSH remote "121" Using commit id "c089daa858f34631f5f827ff8a0313bf1e2ded6d" and quality "insider" for server Testing ssh with ssh -V ssh exited with code: 0 Got stderr from ssh: OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.6p1, LibreSSL 2.6.4 Install and start server if needed

The biggest trouble is that I can't kill the processes of VSCode on my host as they could alwayd produce a new process when the old one is killed.
