Debugging control bar disappears in VS Code - c++

Question

I debug C++ code in VS Code. When I start debugging I get the debugging control bar showing up near top of screen. For some reason it disappears after while and in debug console show "No debug adapter, can not send 'evaluate' " . tasks.json and launch.json are
