VS Code - Unable to find and install C++ extension - visual-studio-code

I have been trying to install C++ extension in Visual Studio Code (latest version). But I am keep getting "No extension found".
I have tried to search a possible cause for this error but so far, I have not found any useful results.
What is the issue and how to resolve it ?

As mentioned in the comments,
Sometimes, marketplace get offline and thus cause these issues.
However, there is a easy hack for this,
Create a *.c file and VS Code will show you that there is a recommended Extension "C/C++"

what makes my code snippet not working at all in vscode?

above is what I saw in tutorial video...it says many snippets so developer can use it
but as to my vscode...I can't select any function ! even on extension I installed many unity code snippets...
This error occurred to me and I tried to install a lot of C# and Unity plugins, but it didn't work until I completely deleted the vcode and re-downloaded it, and I downloaded one c# extensions and one Unity extensions
But the most important extension is c#.

How to solve the problem that can't select project using Omni Sharp on VS Core?

When I use the Omni Sharp to choose a project on VS Code, it occurs an error as follow:
Command 'OmniSharp: Select Project' resulted in an error (Extension 'ms-dotnettools.csharp'CANNOT use API proposal: quickPickSeparators.
lts packagejson#enabledApiProposals-property declares: [] but NOT quickPickSeparators.The missing proposal MUST be added and you must start in extension development mode or use the following command line switch:--enable-proposed-api ms-dotnettools.csharp)
How can I fix the error?
Have you already found this ticket?
https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/issues/4907
This must be caused by a bug related to the OmniSharp extension.
For the moment, you can either down grade VS code to 1.62 or try to use pre release version of the extension mentioned in the ticket.
https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode/releases/tag/v1.23.18-beta2
Please note that you can install the downloaded vsix file inside VS code.

Can't Find certain extensions in CODE-OSS(Open source variant of Visual Studio Code)

I have been using Code-OSS in manjaro linux for some months now and this is the first time I am encountering this. (After I reinstalled manjaro) When I search for e.g, Java Extension Pack or Intellisense I don't get any result in the extension marketplace. I don't know if it's the problem of my setup or everyone is experiencing this. If you know of a solution please tell me.
Thanks in advance
This can be fixed by adding following to product.json:
"extensionsGallery": {
"serviceUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery",
"cacheUrl": "https://vscode.blob.core.windows.net/gallery/index",
"itemUrl": "https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items"
}
This can also be fixed by copying product.json from an official build (in the .zip archvie, product.json is under /usr/share/code/resources/app/product.json which contains above lines). Depending on your distribution, exact location may vary.
More information: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/1557
As an alternative to manually editing product.json or building whole visual-studio-code-bin from AUR you can use different AUR package - code-marketplace - that patches product.json from Code OSS package (code)
Thank you #Clay for responding. I saw that post prior to me posting this question. Those bits of json code were already in my product.json file but still I was not able to get the extensions. Then I built the VISUAL STUDIO CODE (visual-studio-code-bin) from AUR and now its working normally as expected. I don't know what's the reason behind this,but that's how I fixed it.
Also if someone is reading this and wanna know about the different variants of VSCode then here is the archWiki page for VSCode.
For anyone using the lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server docker container like me, the .json is located at /app/code-server/lib/vscode/product.json.
I've encountered this using OSS Code on Manjaro as well, trying to install the Azure Resource Manager Tools extension. Not sure if this was an option when this question was posted, but you can download the extension (.vsix) file if possible, then bring up 'quick open' in OSS Code using Ctrl+Shift+P, search for "VSIX" and choose "Extensions: install from VSIX" to locate and install the downloaded .vsix file.
After this, the extension was installed and usable in OSS Code, and is also configurable in the extension manager panel.

A fatal error was encountered. The library 'hostpolicy.dll' required to execute the application was not found

I tried internet search on this issue and it is very common with many suggestions. The problem started with an update to VS2019 in which I paused because my projects in VSCode were breaking.I did a system restore and when I tried to start VSCode I got a message saying my installation was corrupt. So I reinstalled to the latest version and now get this error.

I found 3 extensions that needed updating so I do so but did not fix this problem. Do not know if I need to update the .Net Core since it looks like a version mismatch. It seems these updates are wreckless since they always cause thing to go wrong.s
If you are facing this problem, it means you are using Windows.
This official microsoft live share github page explains how to fix the issue: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/102
Especially, check out this comment: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/live-share/issues/102#issuecomment-366509735
make vscode is up to date
uninstall live share from vscode
close vscode completely
restart vscode as administrator
reinstall live share
I should add:
close completely vscode and restart it

Duplicate hints while typing expression in Visual Studio Code

Why do I have the same suggestions while typing expression?
Example:
I had exactly the same problem. After a week or so, it get really annoying.
basically, as the comments hint to, there are probably multiple linting or intelisense tools. In my case (for python) i had the pylance extension added.
When i disabled this, the problem went away, but features were missing. So i added it back...
For some reason (i dont know why), this fixed the problem !!!
I can only hypothesise that in some way the extension was corrupted. Nevertheless, it worked.
EDIT:
I can also confirm that unchecking this setting appears to work:
Jupyter: Pylance Handles Notebooks
My current system is Windows 11, with python 3.10.
Final edit (8 Dec 2022):
This is resolved here:
Please could you install VS Code 1.74 and the latest Jupyter, PyLance and Python extension and confirm this still exists.
Visual Studio Code provides an API so third-party extensions and built-in modules can contribute suggestions for auto-completion pop-ups. The system is currently designed so suggestions are merely appended—there's no duplicate detection or removal (perhaps because extensions can also take care of sorting suggestions and such algorithm would get on the way). That means that if you have more than one extension or module for a given language you can easily get duplicate entries.
Having several extensions for PHP is not necessarily a bad idea since they can address different needs (for instance, PHP DocBlocker just creates annotations, it doesn't provide auto-completion suggestions) but you have at least two extensions (PHP Intelephense and PHP Intellisense) that do exactly the same things. That's likely to hurt performance (all your workspace files will be scanned several times) and just adds noise.
I suggest you read the extension descriptions carefully to learn what they do exactly and then figure out which ones you need. Remember that extensions can be enabled/disabled in a per-workspace basis.
The following is just my own totally subjective opinion. Among the PHP extensions that provide code intelligence only two of them seem mature enough:
PHP Intelephense
PHP Intellisense
I've tried both. PHP Intelephense works best for me than PHP Intellisense so that's the one I've kept. I've also disabled php.suggest.basic following the installation instructions because basic suggestions didn't add any value to me (they were blind string matching):
Turn off the php.suggest.basic setting for best results.
... as well as taming builtin Emmet support, which was providing really dumb suggestions:
"emmet.showExpandedAbbreviation": "inMarkupAndStylesheetFilesOnly"
YMMV.
TLDR; Installing pre-release version of Jupyter solves (v2022.11...)
Ok, so after some more extensive experimentation I think I found what's causing this in my case. After looking at the processes I noticed that there were two Pylance processes running, and consistently this would only be a problem if I was working in a session with a jupyter notebook open or one that had been opened.

Pylance basically spins up a service for the workspace, and then spins up a separate service for the notebook.
Output from "Python Language Server" logs:
Disabling Jupyter removes the duplication, and after installing an earlier version of the extension (v2022.4) this appears to have fully resolved the issue. I'm going to go ahead and log the extension bug once I have something reproducible.
As of 11/30/22, Jupyter Extension Pre-Release version v2022.11.1003281132 is the latest version fixes this issue. Click the gear icon next to the extension and you should see "install another version..." Then you can select version v2022.11.1003281132.
