In VsCode, if I create/delete/change files, the file explorer won't update accordingly. It was working perfect until a couple of weeks ago, but suddenly it stoped and updates only if I manually click the refresh button. I uploaded a quick 20 seconds video to youtube here to better explain the problem.
This is my VsCode version information:
Version: 1.57.1
Commit: 507ce72a4466fbb27b715c3722558bb15afa9f48
Date: 2021-06-17T13:26:50.042Z
Electron: 12.0.7
Chrome: 89.0.4389.128
Node.js: 14.16.0
V8: 8.9.255.25-electron.0
OS: Darwin arm64 20.5.0
I'm on macoS Big Sur 11.4 (20F71), and VsCode is opened in my git root repository.
Any help is appreciated!!
Not the expected solution
Some days ago, I created a second user for my Mac to use it for work, and I set it as admin with all privileges, equal to my first and main account. At first, I didn't think this had any relation at all, but in my main account in another random project I ran make command and I literally got an error message saying that I didn't have authorization to run make there. It made no sense because I did it a couple of weeks ago perfectly, curiously when the new user didn't yet exist.
This made me realize that I somehow screwed up things with this new user, and as an ex-windows user, my solution was simple: hard-factory-reset my Mac. And now, it works like a charm!
Obs.: I tried deleting the new User and also reinstalling vscode, but it didn't solve the problem, only after my hard reset.

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.
I started having this problem a couple of months ago, I believe soon after I installed Visual Studio 2022. I am in the midst using VSCCode for an educational project (JavaScript) that will finish this weekend, so have mostly just been hoping VSCode would work until I finished. (I have not been using VS2022.)
The first time I had this problem, I was closing VSCode and a window appeared regarding some updates. After maybe 10 seconds I received a failure message. After that, I could not start VSCode.
I tried to uninstall VSCode, but it would not work. I tried to install VSCode from the main URL (Download for Windows Stable Build), but it would fail to install with a message about "Not being able to rename or write to a file".
I next tried the System Installer link on the /Download page, but I received the same message. I next tried the User Installer link on this page, and it worked. I could launch VSCode again, but the icon in the toolbar was just a white page instead of the VSCode icon.
I don't exactly remember when, but at some point, perhaps with manual updates from the Help toolbar in VSCode, the VSCode icon reappeared in the toolbar.
But then a few days ago, when closing VSCode the window appeared again regarding some updates, then the failure message, and then VSCode would not start. I tried the various download steps again, but only the User Installer would work. And again, just the blank page for an icon in the toolbar. So just leaving everything open for now!
After this weekend, I am hoping to fix this issue. But hoping someone knows that the problem is.
I am running Windows 10 Pro (up to date), and have the blue dot telling me I can upgrade to Windows 11.
Since VSCode is working, maybe I can do a complete un-install. Or perhaps upgrade to Windows 11, or maybe a complete clean install of Windows 10 or 11.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks!
I am getting this error when trying to open the settings.json files or access preferences in VSCode. The preferences pages are blank. I have examined the settings.json file by opening it from the regular Windows File Explorer and don't see anything obviously amiss with it. I didn't see anything on the web in other questions about it. I tried deleting the settings.json file and it reset it, but I don't think that fixed it and I lose all my settings. I tried adding them back in a few at a time, to track down a setting that might be causing it and updated the recommendations, but still getting the error. I'm not sure where the "defaultSettings.json" file is. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Also, I noticed that I am not able to authorize some of the OAuth logins, but I'm not sure if that is a separate issue. When the browser redirects after logging in it displays a can't access page in the browser and doesn't respond in vscode. I'm not sure if there is a setting that is missing or what is causing it. I'm also using WSL2 and Docker containers.
Thanks!

Installed the VSCode insider edition and installed all my packages there and things seem to work with that version. Unless someone has a better idea I'll just mark this closed. I'll just use that the insider edition for now and keep the other one as a backup.
I have been struggling with this vs code issue (extension host terminated unexpectedly).
I've tried uninstalling/ reinstalling vs code, I've uninstalled and disabled all my extensions and still get the error, I've downloaded an older version which worked temporarily, I'm out of ideas.
I don't understand how I can have no extensions but the still get the error?
does anybody know the answer to this?
it seems I'm having the same issue as your from around the same time. I would suggest to add more infos, in my case for example
> MacOS X : 10.11.6 El Capitan
> VS Code Version: 1.57.1
> Commit: 507ce72a4466fbb27b715c3722558bb15afa9f48

> Node.js: 14.16.0
> V8: 8.9.255.25-electron.0
> OS: Darwin x64 15.6.0
After a long period of not using VS Code I found this alert always popping up
-Extension host terminated unexpectedly
-Open Developer Tools -Restart Extension Host
And restarting just repeated this alert.
If I choose from the context menu (aka right click) Run a line/selection or Run Current File, either on terminal or in interactive window with Jupyter, it has no reaction (while a couple of days ago it worked perfectly, when I used it in offline cause there was no wifi)
In hope it could help you, here are what I tried:
to deactivate and reactivate the extension (cmd+shift+p > Reload With
Extensions disabled)
to install a previous extension of Python ms-python.python (or whatever suit your case)
to run the command Bisect (cmd+shift+p > Help: Start Extension
Bisect)
So far I found no solution for me.
Soon I will try to follow what sumitparakh commented in this github issue , meaning to save the former extensionHostProcess.js file (renaming it) and adding in its stead the file he provided
On Windows the location should be
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\node\extensionHostProcess.js
While MacOS path should be:
'/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/out/vs/workbench/services/extensions/node/extensionHostProcess.js'
UPDATE 1: after adding the file and reloading I get even this message
-Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please Reinstall
-More information
UPDATE 2: I tried to follow this fix from a github issue . Here is the quote:
ehamwey commented on Jan 4
The following steps worked for me, after upgrading from an x86 build
of vscode-insiders to Darwin arm64 (version 1.53.0-insider) I got the
behavior described above.
Remove the folder: /Users/[your-home-folder]/.vscode/ # **NOTE:** I renamed it as a backup
This will remove all extensions and any vscode configurations from your system!
Reinstall vscode and any extensions
BUT, even after I reinstalled the same version 1.57.1 of Code the extension host error is there, without any extension yet installed...
So maybe, I should try to revert to a previous update and maybe even reporting this issue
I'm open to suggestion aswell
I solved it running in the notebook kernel:
pip install six
I have a problem where my VSCode keeps deleting itself after I do anything on it. e.g. when I code in Latex or just using it as a text editor, the entire code.exe itself keeps deleting itself. I have been downloading the latest version from the website itself but it still does the same thing with deleting itself.
PS. When I say deleting itself, I meant the entire VSCode uninstalls itself.
Thanks.
There are several steps to kinda fix this:
First run troubleshooter.

If the problem continues, uninstall using unins000.exe in the folder where you installed vscode, and reinstall it.
If you use insiders build, kindle use the standard or non-insiders version.
If the problem still continues, check for updates in your pc and make sure you have updated your pc to the latest.
It should work after this, if not kindle contact the vscode support through get help app or your pc's manufacturer's support team.
Hope this helps in your wonderful coding journey!!
