"No build task to run found. Configure build task" - Clicking does nothing.

• VSCode Version:

1.40.0-insider
b53811e67e65c6a564a80e1c412ca2b13de02907
x64

• OS Version: Linux 5.3.7-arch1-1-ARCH GNU/Linux

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open up an empty workspace.
2. Attempt to run a build task (which doesn't exist yet), prompting the message,
   No build task to run found. Configure build task
   When you click on this message or hit enter, the next dialog simply flashes open for a moment before closing, not allowing any input.

Previously, this used to show you detected tasks, or otherwise automatically create an empty template tasks.json file.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

@sarahkittyy thanks for reporting this! I fixed it yesterday, so it should be available in the next insiders build of VS Code.
