I can't open a new external terminal with CTRL + SHIFT+C. Did a new update remove this function? I was able to use this shortcut before, but now I cannot.
This appears to be a bug with the current version of Visual Studio Code, as multiple users are reporting it isn't working across different operating systems:
GitHub Issue #1
GitHub Issue #2
I updated to 1.57 the other day, and it is not working for me now either. Previously it was on a slightly older version that I updated from.
Update:
The latest Visual Studio Code Insiders release (1.58) has addressed this as noted in this GitHub issue. If you really want this functionality back, you can download the Insiders edition, otherwise you'll need to wait until the next update for the main application.
Final Update:
The May Recovery update resolved this issue. Download the update, and you should be able to once again open external terminals through the command.
It was the issue vscode 1.57 which lasted for about an week.
If you upgrade to the latest version of vscode, it will work now.
Good Job VSCODE !

whenever i try to open my vs code editor, nothing happens it doesn't launch and even there are no errors..!! And i am confused what's wrong here in my vs code. Please anyone help me fix it..!!
Below are the verbose command i typed in the terminal..
C:\Users\Avinash>code . --verbose
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.317Z] Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, mkdir
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.318Z] Lifecycle#kill()
[main 2020-05-10T05:17:56.320Z] [File Watcher (node.js)] Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, stat 'c:\Users\Avinash Maurya\AppData\Roaming\Code\User'
no need of Unistalling, just go to your vscode-setup and reinstall it. (by this procedure all of your's settings, files , extensions etc.. will be restored as it is.)
I also came across the same issue.
Uninstalling and Reinstalling it again worked out and all my extensions were there already(that was strange).
You may want to try "Run as Administrator".
try code --no-sandbox in kali linux
try this it worked for me!
got to the Microsoft store
install vs code form there
then an error massage will appear
now try to open your vs code and wait ...
You can try by searching vs code and if it opens you can right click it, create the shortcut and use it instead of the old shortcut. This worked for me so please try it.
Here is the best solution:
No need to uninstall or do anything.
I was also facing the same issue. Go to task manager. You'll see that visual studio code is running. Select it and press end task. Now you can open vscode normally. It's fixed!
Somehow I had two vs code installs on my computer (one user and one system) and they appeared to be conflicting. I uninstalled user and everything worked. I suggest uninstalling all versions and reinstalling using the system installer executable.
Just reinstall the vs code from previously downloaded setup, everything including extensions get restored. enjoy coding
I Have Got the Same Problem as you just open the folder where you have downloaded VS Code. Like in My case its in Drive C and open from icon in that folder.
you can fix this issue by selecting run this program as administrator under compatibility tab.
If you are on win10, kill all vscode processes, delete folder 'C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Code', and launch vscode again.
if anyone is still wondering abt it, Microsoft ended support for Windows 7 in January, 2020 and no longer provides security updates. VS Code desktop versions starting with 1.71 (August 2022) will no longer run on Windows 7 and you will need to upgrade to a newer Windows version to use later versions of VS Code.
Thus, if you want to keep windows 7 version, you have to download an older version than 1.71 of VS Code , for example, 1.69 version (https://www.filepuma.com/download/visual_studio_code_64bit_1.69.1-32681/) and uncheck all the auto updates from the settings.
whenever you want to add any extension, you just have to choose the older version of it.
If you cannot open the vs code editor on windows 7, then you need to download the latest version 1.70.2 from July 2022, which is supported by windows 7. Here is a link as an example: https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32-x64/stable
These days, anytime I start VSCode, I get this warning
You are running the system-wide installation of Code, while having the user-wide distribution installed as well. Make sure you're running the Code version you expect.
Please how do I fix that?
UPDATE (Recommended by #Fabio Turati)
Just uninstalling the older one without the (USER) extension, it seems working. If not, then uninstall the one left and reinstall vscode.
additional reading:
You installed the new one (with USER extension) before uninstalling the older one. So now you have both, and this is why you get that message. You need to uninstall them both, then reinstall vs code. Make sure you add a shortcut on desktop, it took me a few more minutes to find the .exe of vs code. No worries you don't lose anything by uninstalling...
cheers !
You probably have both versions installed (like I do).
To get rid of the warning, make sure you open the user-wide version. That means unpinning the one you used to have from everywhere.
Then use windows (10) search: visual studio code . Only the ' user-wide distribution' gets shown. If you open visual studio code that way, the warning is gone.
i had these installed:
uninstalled the first one and that error message is gone.
The new executable of the "user-wide distribution" is in this location by default:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe
Replacing your shortcuts with this one should make sure you are using the new installation. (You can also uninstall the old one of course if you want to)
Run into this issue today but all I did was install the new one one (with user extension) and then after successful installation I uninstalled the the old one. Restart my computer and all seems to be ok.
I magically solved by (using windows 10):
Unpin from "taskbar" the vs code shortcut
Remove the shortcut from desktop also if you have it
Search on cortana "visual studio code", once the app appears right click and select "pin to taskbar"
Open tha vs code app from taskbar and the error should be gone.
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!!
So with the new VSCode update version 1.14.0 it causes major issues which are
High CPU usage (causes freezes)
random crashes
extensions are not availabe
IntelliSense working half of the time
So my question is how can I roll VSCode back to the previous version without losing my configurations?
After 1.14.0 I have the same issues, specifically freezing for multiple seconds randomly during intellisense. They label it the previous month, so 1.14.0 is the "June" release.
Going to https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_13 and click the links right below the title to download the older versions (don't click the green download button).
Downloading that windows executable for 1.13.1 and running it installed the old version over the new version without issue. All of my settings are the same and everything works fine.
Update April 2021
To find the previous version, click the Updates link on the top nav
Then click the correct link for your platform - that will download the latest update for that version.
Note:
After downloading the previous version (1.54.3 system) and reinstalling overtop the current (more recent) version, I received an error from the Python extension:
Cannot activate the Python extension because it depends on the Jupyter extension, which is not loaded.
Somehow the Jupyter extension was damaged and it was necessary to reinstall the Jupyter extension (that extension was greyed-out in the Extensions pane - it was only necessary to click the gear icon beside the Jupyter extension and install the latest version). After that, everything worked.
So, not completely painless, but it was easily resolved.
VSCode Version: 1.11.2
OS Version: Win 8.1
Below error is appearing every 10 mins.Can you please tell me how to get rid of this? I have installed only 4 extensions as shown below.
Update:
I have disabled all extensions one by one for the workspace.But still, It has the same issue.In other words, this is not the problem of extensions which I have installed.Any idea?
This worked for me.
Shift + Command + P (Control for windows)
Select Reload With Extensions disabled
Shift + Command + P again
Select Enable All Extensions
Restart VS code.
I solved this by uninstalling Live Server extension!
Open the Devtools console and look for any exceptions in localProcessExtensionHost.ts.
Uninstall the extension that shows up there.
To open developer tools:
ctrl+shift+p Developer: Toggle Developer Tools
select console.
For me, it was the Spell Right extension that messed thing up!
Just uninstalled it and restarted.
Ran into the same issue and ended up uninstalling and installing VSCode, GitBash multiple times.
Finally the issue was the antivirus which was continuously repairing the file at below location and deleting it.
Folder location - C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\services\extensions\node
File name - extensionHostProcess.js
Hope it helps if someone ran into the issue.
I also had same issue with VS code 1.44.0 at last Friday.
Today i tried uninstall VS code in control panel and install 1.43.2 or latest version 1.44.1 and the issue was gone.
The solution: uninstall VS code and install previous version or new latest version
I had the same issue and solved it by disable all "live" extensions: live server, live chat and Chat (Chat for vscode) then reload it and it works perfectly ! :-)
extensions to disable
When it occurs with Live Sass Compiler, you may be importing a file that has not yet been created or is pointing the wrong way.
For me, I had to uninstall Angular-Essentials. It's an extensions bundle.
