How can I start over with Visual Studio Code on macOS Mojave? A program delete and reinstall from a download manages to preserve many preference settings that I would like not to have.
TIA,
Mark
Found it by searching their docs for "uninstall". At the very bottom, there is a FAQ showing a couple of directories that need to be deleted before reinstalling.

The issue is VS code doesn't see UnityEngine.UI library.
I had this issue before and I solved like it this:
I changed the code editor in preferences to Visual Studio, regenerated files and launched c# project. On the start, vs created needed .csproj files and then I closed vs and changed it back to vs code and it workeed.
However, now I am working on another project and I encountered same issue, I tried the method I described above but it didn't work.
Any ideas?
So, after days of tinkering and trying different solutions I found on the internet I finally found out how to solve it (all by myself).
Switch to VS and make sure it detects the UnityEngine.UI library. Then don't close VS, switch to VS Code, don't hit "regenerate files", launch c# project, enjoy!
These steps covered several possible issues:

downgrade VSC package
re-install Unity UI
regenerate files
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
When I start Visual Studio Code (Win10[64bit]), click on extensions overview, all my extensions disappeared. The overview is empty. I also can't load any new ones. But I think all the extensions seem to work.
In Addition there is a clock on the extensions symbol and it seems "loading", but nothing happens. Waiting a long time or restart didn't improve anything.
This is my first question, thanks for help.
As commented by the OP above:
Thanks for your ideas, I re-installed and everything is fine now.
The hint came from Maja Okholm:
perhaps try to repair the installation of visual studio code? Control panel > programs > programs and features, find visual studio code and click repair
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.
I installed Visual Studio Code on Mac/OSX (drop app in Applications)
- uninstalled (moved the App to the Trash)
- installed again
Since the second time I installed I didn't get the same start screen as during my first install I suppose somewhere in my file system Visual Studio Code writes something?
I would like to know where (besides in the Application folder) Visual Studio Code writes files?
VSCode uses another folder to store settings, including a flag to indicate if welcome should show or not. The folder is:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Code
Mac: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code
Linux: $HOME/.config/Code
I've looked on my wife's mac and can't find a trace of these settings, they're not in any standard folder ($HOME, /Libraries/Preferences, /System/Libraries/Preferences nor /Libraries/Containers).
But to open the original start screen, you can use Help -> Show Welcome.
The settings are stored though, if you run "defaults read" you will see a number of settings related to vscode mentioned, including the files you had open last time you closed. Since Visual Studio Code uses the GitHub Atom Shell under the hood, you need to read the settings for atom using
defaults find atom
which will show you some data stored for the app.
