Visual Studio code : Issue loading Extensions - visual-studio-code

I am using visual studio code to do my LWC change and it takes at lest 5 minutes to load those extensions. Some times it fails outright and would not let me run commends.
Is there an option to force run extensions?

There is no option to force run extensions in VSCode. It is likely that your hardware and system configuration is not capable of running your program quickly. Consider editing your question to include your computer specs.
While IntelliJ IDEA does require better hardware than VSCode, consider trying that IDE for LWC instead in case it is a VSCode issue and not your hardware.

Can you have isolated VS Code environments so each project has its own extensions?

I work on multiple projects in VS code. Over time and across projects I have accumulated so many extensions so that starting up is slower and some extensions cause things to break so I have to reinstall VS code to open up a project.
Is there a way, similar to python venv, where you have have multiple instances of vs code each with its own set of extensions?
Yes - you can disable/enable extensions per workspace! Not quite the same as install/uninstall but should solve your problem of extensions running on startup
You go to extensions menu, click the gear icon on some installed extension and you can Disable (Workspace). You can do the same in reverse for enabling per workspace - docs here.

Why do no programs run in visual studio code?

I recently got a new computer and reinstalled visual studio code but I haven't been able to run any of my files. The error has occurred with both python and C++, so I feel as though it is the IDE that is the problem. I have looked online and there are no straight answers as I have tried following some solutions which have resulted in different errors.
The error above comes up when I run (F5) a simple line of code in c++. Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks, Jacob
[EDIT]
For my python files to work I have to manually select 'Python: current file' but for c++ files they still have the same error.
First step, uninstall python from this machine.
Second, reinstall and make sure that you check the box "add to path".
It's pretty easy to miss as it's a small box, and I missed it my first time installing python earlier in the year. Here's the box you may have missed while installing.
It could be your extensions.
I had a similar error message and simply updated all of my extensions and then my SDK. I was then able to run my code within the IDE. I was using VSCode for c++ and also updated my GCC compiler along with the extensions.
Also look into your computer's environment variables, if you have changed the %PATH variables it may be affecting your ability to run/compile programs.

How can I get Visual Studio Code to reset the IntelliSense engine for Rust?

I am working on two projects, one is a library, the other is a program that uses that library. When I make changes to the library the other window (the program) doesn't see these changes, so I do not get updated IntelliSense. Closing the program that uses the library and reopening it does force an update but I really prefer not having to go that far.
Answering the title directly and not the root issue...
You can reset IntelliSense and all Rust code features by running the "Rust: Restart the Rust server" command from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Progress will be indicated in the status bar.
Still a blunt tool but it will ensure you're in a fresh state without having to restart VS Code entirely.

Can I have multiple configurations of Visual Studio Code, one per coding language, each with its own plugins?

This is not a duplicate of How do I open multiple instances of Visual Studio Code?.
My previous question, How can I make Visual Studio Code's auto-complete suggestions appear more quickly? explains my problem.
I was using VSC with the PlatformIo plugin for embedded development for a few months with no problem. Then I started on Flutter/Dart and soon had a problem with auto-suggest being really slow.
It could be that I just loaded a duff plug-in (I am adding them back, one by one, to see if/when it "breaks"), but ... I am considering doing all development in VCS, so as to have a single IDE.
I am currently using Eclipse for C/C++ and PHP, WebStorm for AngualrJs and PyCharm for Python.
I had previously used Eclipse for everything, and had a different copy of Eclipse for each language, each with its own plugins.
Since I will be developing in 4 or 5 languages, even if I don't hit a problem as bad as I just did, adding plug-ins for that many languages into a single IDE will inevitably slow things down.
So, question: can I have multiple installs of VSC, each with its own plug-ins, and launch them separately?
I solved this problem on windows using vs code portable.
I created a folder at the root of my machine with subfolders for each language, inside each I put the vs code, then I created a data folder inside each of them so that the information was stored locally, I modified the name of the executables and added it to the path.
As an example, to access a vscode configured for python I put code-python . at the terminal.
I Have the idea watching this video, it may help you (it is in portuguese, but you can see more os less what it does).

Running IBM Rhapsody animations without Visual Studio

I am relatively new to Rational Rhapsody, and SysML in general, so the errors are likely to be at my end.
I have been scouring Google (and SOF) looking for ways to run Rhapsody animations without Visual Studio. It was my impression that if Rhapsody had access to another IDE, say Eclipse, then the other IDE could deal with the animations. Is this correct, or is VS absolutely required to run animations and debugging tools in Rhapsody?
I have been getting a similar error to that of the user in How to fix Rational Rhapsody error :"Current value is "VC11", but no Visual Studio installation was not found in the directory ""."; my error is "VC10." However, I do not have, or plan to have, Visual Studio run the animations; I'd rather have the animations run using Eclipse, but this is not working either (the same "VC10" error occurs).
I also chatted with a contact at IBM and he suggested trying cygwin as a compiler, but under my circumstances, I cannot download that software.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
The Rhapsody workflow:
Rhapsody generates code from your model. (UML => C++)
To compile the code you need a compiler. Rhapsody does not have its own compiler. If you are on Windows, you can use the VS or cygwin compiler. (C++ => EXE)
If you have enabled the animation instrumentation for your application, then if you start the application, it will connect (using TCP/IP) to a running Rhapsody instance. The animation will run in Rhapsody.
... is VS absolutely required to run animations and debugging tools in Rhapsody?
A compiler (eg. VS or cygwin) is absolutely required to compile the code that has been generated by Rhapsody. Rhapsody is required if you want to see animated state-charts or sequence-diagrams while your application is running.
See also: configure Rhapsody 8.x to use the VS 2013 compiler.
There are many different questions. I try to give you some clarifications.
To run your Rhapsody model with animation you need Rhapsody and a compiler. The compiler could be Visual Studio compiler or Cygwin gcc. Those frameworks are already provided by Rhapsody.
Visual Studio or Eclipse you only need to edit your code. This can easily be done with right klick on your configuration and change it to the corresponding IDE.
I guess you question is related to the VS Version. In the properties of your configuration you must adjust your Visual Studio version. Search for property with VCxx content. Can't remember the exact name of the property at the moment.
