deprecated wmic still used in debugpy #1117

I recently updated my Windows-System to Win11 25H2 Bild 26200. From this on I cannot attach to any process via debugpy any more. I have my launch.json as this:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
        "name": "Python Debugger: Attach using Process Id",
        "type": "debugpy",
        "request": "attach",
        "processId": "${command:pickProcess}",
        "justMyCode": false
    }
  ]
}

When starting debugging for that configuration, nothing happens, despite the debugging-toolbar changing and hanging indefinitly:

However no log is written to the console. Usually I get the process-picker and once I chose one process to attach to I get this in my debug-console:

Attaching to PID: 5096 (elapsed: 1.00s).
Attaching to PID: 5096 (elapsed: 2.00s).
Attaching to PID: 5096 (elapsed: 3.00s).
Attaching to PID: 5096 (elapsed: 4.00s).
Attaching to PID: 5096 (elapsed: 5.00s).

After the update the process-picker no longer is displayed. Using hard-coded PID in my launch.json (like 5096 in the example above) works, however.

I checked exthost.log and found this, though:

2026-09-30 10:36:07.925 [error] Error: spawn wmic ENOENT
at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:287:19)
at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:525:16)
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21)

Seems like WMIC is causing the issue, which isn't available any more.

I am using VS Code 1.139.1, Win11 25H2 26200
