I have a problem with my Visual Studio Code. I have a popup that appears in the bottom right corner, to inform that my VS Code is damaged. So this week I uninstalled my VS Code from Windows. I then went to the official Visual Studio Code website to get the installation executable. Once done, I do the installation, everything works again correctly, then 5 min after, there is a new popup.
Is there a solution that allows me to fix this?
I have a pc on Windows 10 64bits.
Short answer - try vs-code extension Fix VSCode Checksums.
After installation, open command palette and run 'Fix Checksums: Apply'.
Now, just restart your vs-code.
or
Alternatively, open command palette and write 'Developer: Reload Window'.
That's it.
This fixes the issue for me as well (If you ever have any problems/doubts and wanted to undo what you just did, open command palette and execute 'Fix Checksums: Restore').
Details - I was having the same issue after installing 'SynthWave 84 theme' and 'Enable Neon Dreams' (that glow effect), as mentioned by answers above.
I searched for it and even though vs-code documentation suggested to re-install the VS Code (as mentioned in the second answer), I was willing to search for another possible solution.
so, I found this section on 'SynthWave 84' extension official page.
thus, just wanted to add another possibility to this question, which may help someone.
I will be following this and if it causes any issue in VS Code updates or anything related, I will provide an update.
JFYI - I am on macOS Catalina, but I am sure it will be the same for windows as well and vs-code September 2020 (version 1.50)
