I've recently uninstalled VS 2015 and some other packages which I don't recall. Ever since the uninstallation I've not been able to view the the icon of VS Code, VS Code Insider and Windows Defender. All those software were working properly previously.
[
If I click on those application, they won't open.
But if I selected a file or folder and open them by selecting the option "Open with VS Code or VS Code Insiders", there is no any problem. The icon of those software can't be seen on the taskbar too even if they are opened.
What package should I need to install again to make them appear? What other software might be affected?

Whenever I open VSCode application on my Windows 10 Machine, the icon shows a blank white file in the taskbar instead of the VSCode icon. (Preview)
I've looked online for a solution, and couldn't find an answer to my issue except for "Uninstalling Google Drive" which I do not have installed.
Actions done:
Reinstalled VSCode.
Rebuilt the C: drive icons.
Your help is needed, and thank you!
After looking through the Icon issue I had, I landed on this website.
I downloaded the cleariconcache.vbs file, and ran it - It worked for all the missing Icons on my Windows 10.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.
This is what worked for me:
Right Click the Paper White icon that should be a Visual Studio Code icon.
Right click on Visual Studio Code, then click Properties.
Change the Shortcut Target and Start in values to the same folder from where Visual Studio Code is installed.
Click Ok.
Close and reopen Visual Studio Code.
I am working through the instructions on building VSC for developers (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute#build-and-run) currently. Right under "Build" it instructs me to go "Go into vscode and start the build task with CMD+Shift+B) since I have a mac. I have gone into the folder in my finder and have pressed this combination of buttons but nothing happens at all. Am I supposed to do this in the terminal or am I missing anything?
It looks like the vscode directory must be opened in Visual Studio Code and a build is performed with ⌘ Command+Shift+B.
Here is an older version of the instructions where it is clearer:
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-wiki/blob/2e2d6b0/How-to-Contribute.md#build
It appears that the directory vscode got mixed up with the full application name in a subsequent edit.
I was getting black screen after opening Visual studio each time. I got a solution from Stack overflow i.e code --disable-gpu. It is working fine but my main issue is when I use to code in vs code. I am not getting suggestions as intellisense is not working and I am unable to install any extensions from Visual studio code.
to disable hardware acceleration permanently (without adding --disable-gpu argument) open folder "C:\Users\your_username_here\.vscode" than open file argv.json with any editor and look for
"//disable-hardware-acceleration": true, and just remove the tow slashes before disable. i think there is a similar workaround in linux
Hit Ctrl Shift P to open the command palette,
Type Developer and choose Developer: Toggle Developer Tools.
switch to the Network tab in Dev tools.
Search for extensions now
Go to properties of visual studio
change target . Add --disable-gpu
make sure to add a space before --
it will resolve your issue.
I recently updated Visual Studio Code to a new version (1.7.2) on my Mac.
I am used to open different 'windows' of VS Code at the same time on different projects.
In previous versions of VS Code I could navigate the VS Code open windows via 'cmd+>' (or 'cmd+z', now I do not remember this exaclty).
Now this key combination does not work anymore and, to navigate windows, I need to open the 'Window' menu option and chose from there.
Does anybody know how to navigate among open VS Code open windows on Mac with this version of VS Code?
Thanks in advance
control+w is working for me
It is showing all active windows
cmd+< is not provided by VSCode, it's a global shortcut of OSX witch works for all applications with multiple windows. You can check if its properly set up in Preferences->Keyboard->Shortcuts
However, there is a command in VSCode to select open windows from a list. Search the command palette for Switch Window, you can bind it to a shortcut yourself, command is called workbench.action.switchWindow.
I cant see emulators and I also cant see Apache ripple in the debugging bar, all I see is start. even when I click start it shows error.

Known Issues - Visual Studio 2015
In some cases, when you uninstall VS2013 or a previous version (RC) of VS2015, a library gets corrupted that causes the debug dropdown not to show all the target options. To resolve this issue:
Close all Visual Studio instances.
Browse "C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools" folder
Rename the CoreCon folder to something else.
Launch Visual Studio again.
