VSCode update failures

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!

How can I get Eclipse IDE to default to "Selected lines" in the Find/Replace dialogue when multiple lines are selected?

When working in Eclipse and hitting Ctrl+F with lines of code selected, the default behavior I expect is for the Find/Replace dialogue to open with the "Selected lines" option and, perhaps, either buffer contents or a previous search query in the "Find" prompt. On my home machine, what happens instead is the entire selection gets automatically copied to the "Find" prompt and Scope is reset to "All" instead of "Selected lines" every time.
I somehow do have this working by default on my work machine: "Selected Lines" scope option is chosen automatically when more than one line is selected in the editor.
Possibly unrelated: I do have CDT installed and I work mostly with C++ in Eclipse. Home machine is running Ubuntu 18.10, work machine is running Ubuntu 18.04.
I tried:
Re-downloading Eclipse, reinstalling CDT & cmake4eclipse
Changing to a new Workspace in Eclipse (without copying settings)
Searching high and low online for recipes on how to control this.
How do I change the IDE at home to the desired "Selected Lines" behavior?
[Edit 1 hour later]: I am now almost convinced the issue has to do with the Ubuntu version somehow. I'm running 18.04 on my Laptop (same as my work computer) and I just upgraded CDT & Eclipse Platform to latest stable versions (9.7 and 4.11/2019-03, respectively), which I have everywhere else. The new "wrong" behavior didn't appear. I will also start a thread on the Eclipse forums or perhaps even open a bug report. I don't want to reinstall the whole system or downgrade it (slim chance of success) just to get this back; if it's an Eclipse bug, I'd rather work on fixing it.
[Edit 2 days later] The bug did not manifest on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.10. I still have no idea what was different on the 'culprit' machine. I ended up wiping the drive and reinstalling 18.04 on the same machine and the problem went away.

Why is visual studio code uninstalling a PDF on both my laptop and desktop?

Today when starting up vscode on both my laptop and desktop I got this notification popup in the lower right corner:
We have uninstalled 'tomoki1207.pdf' which was reported to be problematic.
At first on my desktop I just ignored it, but now on my laptop I am getting supsicious. I grepped my filesystem, I don't even have that tomoki1207.pdf anywhere on my filesystem (obviously not present if it was deleted but I checked my backup and it was not there)
After toggling on the developer tools and filtering for "tomoki" I found out that it was actually not a file that got "uninstalled", but it was an extension. This is the logline:
INFO Uninstalling the extension tomoki1207.pdf-0.4.1 from window 1
It was deleted because of the Event Stream vulnerability that popped up a few days ago:

VSCode 1.14.0 July update has major issues: How to roll back?

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.

Installation of Opshub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility hangs after entering Verification Code

I got the Verification Code and I am able to enter it in the textbox. I can also press the Next button once, but nothing happens after that. The screen just hangs, I can not press any of the buttons. I tried several times, even let it try the entire night, but nothing happens..
On the previous screen I had problems with my proxy, but after setting the _JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable it seemed to work.
I am running the latest version (OVSMU-V1.1.0.005.exe) on Windows 8.1
Any ideas how I can continue?
