What is this command doing in Visual Studio Code?

have installed the C# extension in Visual Studio Code, and upon running my code without debugging using the button located at the top right, the following command was executed:

PS C:\Users\HP\projects\c#> & 'c:\Users\HP.vscode\extensions\ms-dotnettools.csharp-2.22.5-win32-x64.debugger\x86_64\vsdbg.exe' '--interpreter=vscode' '--connection=c42726d550bb4815a99c6c7cf64b5843'

This seems to be running a debugger, but why? I'm only running my code.

Shouldn't It use a command like "dotnet run" or something similar to just execute it?

When I run it in this mode, the code does not stop at breakpoints, so why is it using a debugger if I'm not debugging?
