I had this issue this weekend. It seems to have happened because I opened my project in my venv, but also opened a second instance outside of the venv. I never closed either instance - I just shut my PC down and let windows do the work. When I went back and called up VSCode from within my venv, both the project, and the other non-venv window opened. That's when I started seeing this error.

To fix it I had to remove the \.vscode folder from the workspace directory.
