How to troubleshoot a VSCode extension not loading after restart? - visual-studio-code

I installed and configured the Apollo GraphQL extension in VSCode. It worked perfectly.
However, when I close and reopen VSCode it doesn't load. The icon never shows up and nothing loads in the console output.
The extension is definitely loaded because syntax highlighting still works but we get none of scheme features.
I tried
uninstall/reinstall of the extension.
closing vscode, deleting the extension folder directly, reinstall extension, restart vscode.
installing the Insiders Edition of vscode and installing the extension there.
In all cases it works the first time but not after a restart.
How can I troubleshoot/fix this issue?

Although I installed the extension in Vscode, it says "no extensions found"

I've been using Vscode for a long time, but suddenly my extensions in Vscode seem to have disappeared. I uninstalled Vscode and reinstalled it and tried to install the extensions again. Although the extensions appear to be installed in the "extensions" folder, Vscode says "no extensions found" and I can't use any of the extensions. Later, I realized there was a similar error on another computer I connected to the same Wi-Fi. What is the reason?
Vscode
Extensions Folder
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Vscode many times. I even did a system restore for some reason. I reset my router to restore factory default settings but it didn't change the situation.
There is nothing related in the output logs.
I deleted extensions.json and re-installed my extensions but it didn't work for me.
I got the same problem a few hours ago when I was on a different wifi.

Prettier not working on VScode tried everything from stackoverflow still nothing happened?

Prettier not working on VSCode
I have been using prettier for java on vs code from very long everything was working smoothly till yesterday and suddenly prettier stopped working for java.
I have tried every available resource on Youtube and Stack Overflow still didn't solve my issue, please help.
I tried from changing default formatter and format on save to settings.json still now working showing error - FormattingExtension 'Prettier - Code formatter' is configured as formatter but it cannot format 'Java'-files
Normally this happens when you have another extension overlapping the prettier settings. Disabling other extensions normally solves the problem. Reinstalling visual studio can be your best option, but you have to remove all remaining settings, or it will just be the same.
You can always install directly in terminal using: https://prettier.io/docs/en/install.html
Confirm on extensions that prettier is enabled. Update Visual Studio and Windows.

The neovim plugin for tpope/vim-surround isn't working in VSCode

I'm looking for thoughts on how I've configured this differently this time.
I have been using this plug in previous versions.
I have the init.vim correctly configured (the plugin works with nvim) from the console.
I'm using the dein plugin manager.
I know the init.vim is being loaded from vscode.
I'm just not getting the surround functionality in vscode.
What's even stranger is it's working on my old laptop just fine, AFAIK I've copied all the settings.
The only difference is the the version of NeoVim installed, but as I mentioned - the plugin works from the console.
Leave the path to the init.vim blank. Still not sure why this works on the old laptop with this value ...

My VS code keeps crashing when opening it

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but the problem did not dissappear. It seems that when I open the app, more than 20 windows open at the same time, causing the app to crash. Here is a screenshot:
I've searched on the internet for what else to do, but I didn't come across any solution.
The solution was to start VS Code from the command prompt with the following command:
code --disable-extensions --max-memory=12288mb
Then to close all open tabs and correctly exit VS Code without any open files.
Hopefully this helps someone!
I tried all the fixes above when my Ubuntu install of VS Code crashed repeatedly at startup. The only thing that worked for me was deleting the entire ~/.config/Code/Backups folder. Back it up first, just in case!
I had the same issue with the latest version of VSCODE. Then i tried installing "Downloads: Windows: User" one from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_52. It worked. I am not sure of the root cause.
I observed that after installing the extension 'Django Template Support' the VSCode started crashing.
I tried by installing the latest version of VSCode too. Still the VSCode did crash.
Once after uninstalling that extension, VSCode is working fine.
May be, we should note the change which has made the VScode to crash (though, it shouldn't, I believe.)

Receiving error message 'Extension host terminated unexpectedly.' in Visual Studio Code

I have been looking around and I haven't found any answers to my issue.
I keep getting this error "Extension host terminated unexpectedly." and I have tried removing all of my extensions, reinstalling the program, trying different versions of vscode including the insider versions.
The way I get this isssue isn't from trying to use the debugger or trying to use some sort of extension, as I said before I removed all of them and the error keeps on coming back, it's simply from opening the application. I'm not entirely sure how to continue? I have had to use another editor because the error just doesn't go away. I will just have to wait for another update of Visual Studio Code I assume? I've had the issue since tuesday this week, guessing since the latest update.
Above is the error message I get. It is closed by esc but reappears very shortly after, every time.
When I open developer tools, this is what I find in the console.
Running vscode from command prompt with Code.exe --disable-extensions doesn't help.
Visual Studio Code version: 1.16.1
I appreciate any help.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference
I had the same error after updating vsc to v. 1.31.0.
Disabling Live Server Extension worked for me.
Here's the error i'm getting having the extension enabled.
I started getting this error when vscode automatically updated to March 2020 (version 1.44). I have tried various suggestions given in the forum and over the internet but none of them worked.
What worked for me: I downloaded January 2020 (version 1.42) build from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_42 and ran over the previous installation without uninstalling and surprisingly, the error disappeared and all extensions are loading and working properly.
I tried following things and non of them worked:
I disabled all the installed extension from GUI.
uninstalled all the extension and installed again.
removed the left-over extensions from Windows %USERPROFILE%.vscode\extensions.
tried launching from the command prompt with --disable-extensions option.
Linking my github issue on Microsoft/vscode as reference.
It ended up being one of the base extensions that runs on startup that was the root of the problem.
In my case the git in extensions folder was causing it.
"git.enabled": false was not doing the trick so I had to remove the git folder altogether for the error to disappear.
In my case, I used typescript-hero extension. Disabling this extension fixed my problem.
It's temporal fix but maybe will help somebody.
I disabled all the extensions with name Live for example Live Server, Live Share etc and restarted my vscode again and it worked for me.
For me this was happening due to HTML CSS Support extension. so i removed it and restarted vs code and voila! it worked!
I had to uninstall few extensions related to Java (debugger for java, Test runner for java, extension pack for java etc) to make the error go away.
Click on the developer tool option that popups and see if it has the extension which is causing this error.
I got same issue and it was because of Color Highlight Extension. I just uninstalled Color Highlight Extension and its working fine and NO ERROR.
Me too. My failure has no "Code":
Extension host terminated unexpectedly. Code: null Signal: SIGABRT
MessageService.ts
I recently ran into the same error message after accepting a permission to run a program on the extension livepreview. It corrupted all other extensions where it could not find the commands. I deleted all extension files and reinstalled the other extensions without a problem. I tried liveserver again but It never prompted me again for permissions and still, the error message keeps occurring. I'm assuming liveserver was trying to ask the computer permission to run a local server after which is still accepted but something else is interfering with the computer being able to translate from the program to actually building and accessing the local server.
In my case, the live server extension was causing this issue in 1.31.0v of VS Code. After uninstalling the extension it started working correctly.
In my case it was from the extension "Todo Tree". It was breaking on a particularly large file in my project (13.7mb), with the error saying the file was over the max-size for a node-buffer (used by the C regex matcher).
Resolved the issue by disabling the extension.
I also opened an issue for it here: https://github.com/Gruntfuggly/todo-tree/issues/135
I had same problem with following error in my VSCode console.
`1: node::DecodeWrite
2: node::InternalCallbackScope::Close
3: v8::internal::VirtualMemory::TakeControl
4: v8::internal::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>::PerThreadAssertScope<4,1>
5: v8::internal::operator<<
6: v8::internal::operator<<
7: 00000073ECF04481`
I solved it by uninstalling Angular Console extension. Not sure if it was that particular extension or some other memory issue but problem went away as soon as I uninstalled that.
Remove all Extensions which are located in a per user extensions folder. Depending on your platform, the location is in the following folder:
Windows %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions
macOS
~/.vscode/extensions
Linux ~/.vscode/extensions
Restart vscode and start installing extensions.
I am not sure why this caused , but the Antivirus was throwing popups that something like extensionprocess.js file was repaired.
Disabled the Antivirus and re-installed Vscode and it was back to normal.
Hope this helps.
Here is what helped me:
Ctrl+Shift+P --> type: "Disable"
and click Disable all installed extensions
(alternatively click Disable all installed extensions for this Workspace)
Then go to extensions panel on the left and re-enable slowly those that you really need.
See which extension (or their combination) triggers that error.
It will be highly appreciated which extenstion/combination you'll find guilty as there may be several of them, and different in time...
for me, it was code runner extension I just disabled it.
