What is the install terminal and how to remove it from VS Code terminal window?

This started showing up a few months back in my VS Code setup. It wasn't bothering so much, so I kept ignoring it. I am not sure what it's called, but searching around with "install window" or other combinations for VS Code gives some unexpected results. I am using remote-ssh extension for development and believe that it has something to do with a remote extension setting. If I try to close this window, my ssh connection breaks and VS Code opens up another of these to recreate the ssh connection.

Install window

I have tried checking and unchecking various remote-ssh extensions but to no avail. Even reinstalling VS Code didn't do any good. I don't see the same behavior on other machines that I have VS Code installed.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me get rid of this terminal. My VS Code is running on macos and ssh server is Ubuntu if this helps.

Remove "remote.SSH.showLoginTerminal": true from your User settings JSON file, then exit VSCode and re-launch the workspace. If that doesn't work set the setting to false instead.
