VS Code crashing on start


For the past week or so VS Code has crashed every time I try to start it. I will see the outline of a window and then a "The window is not responding" prompt with options "Reopen" "Keep waiting" "close".

If I choose to keep waiting the same prompt shows up after a few seconds. If I hit Reopen I get a new prompt that says "The window has crashed (reason: 'crashed', code: '2')". I can then choose to "Reopen" (which goes back to the first prompt) or "Close".

I've searched around on google for a solution but nothing has worked. I have tried reinstalling to no avail. I am running Windows 10. Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated.


Solution

  • As @Aviral suggested, installing VS Code Insider works as a work around for this problem.
