Extension Host Terminated Unexpectedly on Visual Studio Code - visual-studio-code

So, I've been getting an error on my visual-studio-code saying that the extension host terminated unexpectedly:
When I opened my dev tools to view the problem, this is what I see:
As well as this when I scroll down:
I read somewhere here where someone mentioned that their extension host problem was fixed when they disabled the live server. I tried that and it did not work for me.
For what it's worth, I can still code, but this extension host terminating is stopping my intellisense and a lot of my auto-complete codes.
Also (and, I'm not sure if this also has something to do with my live server), but I've been having problems opening my default browser lately.
I would appreciate any help on this. Thank-you.
I tried disabling my live server (someone on Stack Overflow mentioned they had the same problem and disabling the live server fixed it), but that did not work.

There's a few errors with some of your extensions, I think the one causing you the biggest issue is this extension (or something similar with omi snippets): React/Redux/Typescript/Javascript/Omi snippets - try disabling this extension

Remote Desktop blocks Alt Gr key combinations in VS Code

Sometimes when I have a Remote Desktop-connection enabled, VS Code refuses to allow me to type curly braces or other symbols which require the Alt Gr-key on my keyboard (norwegian layout).
However, in other apps and the Start Menu, I'm able to type the symbol properly, so it's not a keyboard / changed language-issue.
Quitting or restarting the Remote Desktop-session allows it to work again for a while. I suspected that it might be the login screen after a timeout on the Remote Desktop being involved, but locking the remote computer manually did not provoke the issue in VS Code.
This same "solution" is found in an answer to a similar question (36780208), but is there now an actual fix to this issue? Some configuration issue on the Remote Desktop computer or in VS Code maybe?
My google-fu seems to be failing me on this, and while having to restart a remote desktop-connection from time-to-time isn't the end of the world, it's really annoying when I forget that that's the solution 😅

VSCode crashes on startup (code: -1073741818)

Yesterday, VSCode (1.67.1) decided that it was unable to start (crashes immediately) and spits out the error code -1073741818. I have the option to reopen or close but nothing happens regardless of the option chosen. Thought it might be an issue with the file/folder I was opening but no success opening any files/folders at all. Tried to disable GPU, disable extensions and re-install but all lead to the same error code. Tried to move to Atom, but, oddly enough, the same issue occurred. Discovered Atom and VSCode are both based on Electron and that Electron has previously had issues with Nvidia drivers (currently running 512.77) so I tried to install previous versions of the drivers that were working but no success. I finally gave up and moved the code to another system and everything works flawlessly.
So now I that I have some time, I am trying to figure out what went wrong and where to go from here. My uninformed, uneducated guess is it is driver related but I am not sure how to resolve it. I was able to successfully use VSCode earlier in the day with no issue. The system went into stand-by mode and upon return, the issue began. Any suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated.
VSCode Crash Window
Welcome to the community! I think this is caused by an corrupt installation of vscode, try to restart your computer and maybe reinstall vscode by going to, https://code.visualstudio.com.
If that does not help maybe try to submit an issue on the vscode github here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode.
How to submit an issue on github:
Find the menu bar where it has multiple menus, it should have: "code", "pull requests" and "issues".
Click on "issues" button.
Click "new issue" to create an issue.
Then click "bug report" and enter details to file issue.
Once ready click submit issue to submit your issue in github.
Also, you'll need a github account to create a issue, signup here: https://github.com/
I hope this helps!
Please check if you've installed any additional extensions which may be causing the VSCode to crash.
My VS code keeps crashing when opening it
I had the same problem. First, it used to crash once every 10 minutes, then it started crashing 10 times a minute after a few hours. It just stopped working that day.
I don't know how it was resolved but it did automatically resolve.
I searched for the solution but the VS code on GitHub was already closed. If applicable take a rest and let your PC calm down also. Then if the problem doesn't get resolved, try contacting the developer team.

VS Code - Extension Details Blank post "disable gpu" fix

I apologize if this question has been answered somewhere else, but so far I am unable to locate it if it was.
Background:
As many folks have suffered the dreaded blank screen on VS Code, I deployed the recommended fix for --disable-gpu. This fix worked just fine for me and I have been using it ever since.
Issue:
Since this fix has been deployed, I'm unable to view the details page when viewing an Extension. The page/tab just shows up as blank. This happens with any extension, regardless of if I've installed it or not. This in and of itself is not a deal breaker for me, but I was hoping to use the Jupyter Notebook extension, but this seems to be impacting this as well.
If anyone has any guidance, please let me know.
Screenshot showing lack of details
I was able to get this corrected by creating a .bat file that I use to open VS Code. The code file was set up like the following:
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\
Code.exe --disable-software-rasterizer --disable-gpu --no-sandbox

VSCode unable to connect SSH to raspberry pi 4

I'm facing an annoying problem which just popped out of the blue overnight: VScode will not, under any circumstances connect to my raspberry pi 4 via ssh. I'm using VScode insiders with the remote-ssh extension and it worked like a charm the weeks before.
What works:
Putty connects seamlessly over LAN or WiFi.
ssh is enabled on rpi4
i am using the correct IP which i get from hostname -I in the terminal
What doesn't work:
neither "raspberrypi" nor "my correct IP" work. Right after selecting "Linux" in the selection process it throws the error "Could not establish connection to "my correct IP""
uninstalling VScode insiders and deleting all related files in docs and appdata changes nothing after reinstallation
What i observed:
This happened to me before in VScode for no reason and was unfixable. On a forum post someone recommended using insiders, which fixed the problem but now VScode insiders seems to be affected by this as well. Whenever a connection couldn't be established, two problems pop up in my extensions tab:
"Error while loading extensions. Error"
"We cannot conect to the Marketplace at this time, please try again later."
Especially the last one gives me a feeling that this is a bug within VScode. I'll gladly take the blame if it's on my behalf, i just want to fix the problem.
Similar things have been mentioned here:
"Extension host terminated unexpectedly" in vs code
Remote SSH in Visual Studio Code does not work
but are unsolved or don't quite fit my description. Thank you for your time and help.

Receiving error message 'Extension host terminated unexpectedly.' in Visual Studio Code

I have been looking around and I haven't found any answers to my issue.
I keep getting this error "Extension host terminated unexpectedly." and I have tried removing all of my extensions, reinstalling the program, trying different versions of vscode including the insider versions.
The way I get this isssue isn't from trying to use the debugger or trying to use some sort of extension, as I said before I removed all of them and the error keeps on coming back, it's simply from opening the application. I'm not entirely sure how to continue? I have had to use another editor because the error just doesn't go away. I will just have to wait for another update of Visual Studio Code I assume? I've had the issue since tuesday this week, guessing since the latest update.
Above is the error message I get. It is closed by esc but reappears very shortly after, every time.
When I open developer tools, this is what I find in the console.
Running vscode from command prompt with Code.exe --disable-extensions doesn't help.
Visual Studio Code version: 1.16.1
I appreciate any help.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference
I had the same error after updating vsc to v. 1.31.0.
Disabling Live Server Extension worked for me.
Here's the error i'm getting having the extension enabled.
I started getting this error when vscode automatically updated to March 2020 (version 1.44). I have tried various suggestions given in the forum and over the internet but none of them worked.
What worked for me: I downloaded January 2020 (version 1.42) build from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42 and ran over the previous installation without uninstalling and surprisingly, the error disappeared and all extensions are loading and working properly.
I tried following things and non of them worked:
I disabled all the installed extension from GUI.
uninstalled all the extension and installed again.
removed the left-over extensions from Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions.
tried launching from the command prompt with --disable-extensions option.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference.
It ended up being one of the base extensions that runs on startup that was the root of the problem.
In my case the git in extensions folder was causing it.
"git.enabled": false was not doing the trick so I had to remove the git folder altogether for the error to disappear.
In my case, I used typescript-hero extension. Disabling this extension fixed my problem.
It's temporal fix but maybe will help somebody.
I disabled all the extensions with name Live for example Live Server, Live Share etc and restarted my vscode again and it worked for me.
For me this was happening due to HTML CSS Support extension. so i removed it and restarted vs code and voila! it worked!
I had to uninstall few extensions related to Java (debugger for java, Test runner for java, extension pack for java etc) to make the error go away.
Click on the developer tool option that popups and see if it has the extension which is causing this error.
I got same issue and it was because of Color Highlight Extension. I just uninstalled Color Highlight Extension and its working fine and NO ERROR.
Me too. My failure has no "Code":
Extension host terminated unexpectedly. Code: null Signal: SIGABRT
MessageService.ts
I recently ran into the same error message after accepting a permission to run a program on the extension livepreview. It corrupted all other extensions where it could not find the commands. I deleted all extension files and reinstalled the other extensions without a problem. I tried liveserver again but It never prompted me again for permissions and still, the error message keeps occurring. I'm assuming liveserver was trying to ask the computer permission to run a local server after which is still accepted but something else is interfering with the computer being able to translate from the program to actually building and accessing the local server.
In my case, the live server extension was causing this issue in 1.31.0v of VS Code. After uninstalling the extension it started working correctly.
In my case it was from the extension "Todo Tree". It was breaking on a particularly large file in my project (13.7mb), with the error saying the file was over the max-size for a node-buffer (used by the C regex matcher).
Resolved the issue by disabling the extension.
I also opened an issue for it here: https://github.com/Gruntfuggly/todo-tree/issues/135
I had same problem with following error in my VSCode console.
`1: node::DecodeWrite
2: node::InternalCallbackScope::Close
3: v8::internal::VirtualMemory::TakeControl
4: v8::internal::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>
5: v8::internal::operator<<
6: v8::internal::operator<<
7: 00000073ECF04481`
I solved it by uninstalling Angular Console extension. Not sure if it was that particular extension or some other memory issue but problem went away as soon as I uninstalled that.
Remove all Extensions which are located in a per user extensions folder. Depending on your platform, the location is in the following folder:
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
macOS
~/.vscode/extensions
Linux ~/.vscode/extensions
Restart vscode and start installing extensions.
I am not sure why this caused , but the Antivirus was throwing popups that something like extensionprocess.js file was repaired.
Disabled the Antivirus and re-installed Vscode and it was back to normal.
Hope this helps.
Here is what helped me:
Ctrl+Shift+P --> type: "Disable"
and click Disable all installed extensions
(alternatively click Disable all installed extensions for this Workspace)
Then go to extensions panel on the left and re-enable slowly those that you really need.
See which extension (or their combination) triggers that error.
It will be highly appreciated which extenstion/combination you'll find guilty as there may be several of them, and different in time...
for me, it was code runner extension I just disabled it.
