VS Code on Windows 11 pops the 'Debugger Stopped" message when debugging Python 3.11.

When trying to debug python code in VS Code using a virtual environment, the "Debugger Stopped" message pops up. When I check the launch.json file, it looks ok. There is a debugpy in the type: parameter When I change that to python, the problem goes away. I looked at some troubleshooting tips that recommend installing debugpy in the venv. That does not fix the error. Is this a bug? It happens every time I create a virtual environment. I have to switch the type to "Python". There is a statement that this is depreciated. Is there a work-around?
