I installed VS Code in windows, but it comes up as running under WSL Ubuntu 18.04.
I don't want to run in the linux subsystem, but in windows proper.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not change this.
Uninstalling and deleting all vscode file and folders in /users does not change this.
Try going to the bottom left of your window and press on the WSL: Ubuntu-18.04 button.
After pressing the button, go to the top center of the window and choose Close Remote Connection.
After that, VS Code should stop auto-connecting to the WSL Ubuntu system every time when you open it (I tested myself and it worked on my computer).

So I don't use the linux desktop. I ssh into the box and run code there but the display is on my windows box. If something happens to the windows machine (example forced update and reboot) when I log back into the Linux machine, code is still running. How do I retrieve/restore the gui?
I've been trying to set up the vscode code . shortcut to work in WSL. Following the instructions from the vscode website, I reinstalled vscode in windows, reinstalled the Remote-Wsl extension, made sure it was in my System Path, and tried running code . in the WSL linux distro terminal. I get the message instructing me to install it on the windows side, and asking me if I want to continue. I hit yes, but it doesn't create the code server folder in my home directory. Typing code . again does the same thing.
Does anyone know why this may be?
This is the output text:
To use Visual Studio Code with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Visual Studio Code in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use the code command in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.
Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N]
The error message isn't just pointing out that you need to install the Windows version, but it indicates that you have the Linux version installed in WSL and should remove it.
From that, it sounds like at some point you may have installed the Linux version of VSCode in WSL, and that one is taking priority. You'll need to uninstall it in order to run the Windows version of VSCode with the "Remote - WSL" extension.
You don't mention what distribution you are running, but if it is Ubuntu, try:
sudo apt remove code # or
sudo apt remove code-insiders
Also see the uninstall doc from Microsoft.
i'm using remote-ssh VSC extension to run python files from windows on remote Ubuntu VPS
The problem is, i cant run code with tinkter or some commands like xeyes
They seems running, but there is no window displaying the result appearing.
What should i look at Local and server sides to fix this?
Got it. I need to run Xming on local machine in parallel with vscode. This way xming open window with graphic content in it
I have Ubuntu LTS 20.04 running on wsl2 in Windows, this way I'm able to compile my JS/React code and run my php server in linux and use windows to code using Visual Studio Code.
This is running great, but a strange thing is happening, I installed nvm and gulp through the Visual Studio Code terminal and if I use them on the terminal it works fine but not if I do it outside the terminal (using Windows terminal), it says not found for both gulp and nvm.
I assume VSCode is adding a few things to the PATH but I don't know what to do for them to be found by the windows terminal (outisde VSCode terminal). Screen below. On the left is the result of running nvm list inside VS Code terminal and on the right on Ubuntu terminal, which can't find.
I'm a bit confused by your question. It sounds like you're installing programs on Windows through the VSCode terminal, and then trying to run them on Windows but it's not working. But then your screenshot shows the WSL Ubuntu prompt failing to find the command. Assuming you want to run these under WSL, log in to WSL Ubuntu and run this:
find / -name nvm
If you actually want to use the Windows terminal to run the program, you'll have to find where it is installed in Windows and make sure that's in your %PATH% but this doesn't seem like it's what you're trying to do.
The correct answer was provided by the comment from MindSwipe.
On VSCODE terminal if I "echo $PATH" it has the nvm directory in it while the $PATH on WSL doesn't, I assume VSCODE alters its own terminal PATH when the tools are installed using it instead of the global WSL path.
I've changed the WSL path and it's now working, how can I present the bounty to MindSwipe ?
If I disable or uninstall Remote WSL plugin on VScode cursor starts jumping from one place to another. what should i do to avoid this from happening. I don't want to use the plugin.
I have installed WSL so VScode always prompts to install the plugin.
I had multiple code formatter that's why this was happening. remote WSL has nothing to with this problem. sorry for wrong question.
