Solution

  • I also still use Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I discovered that the latest version of Code downloaded directly from Microsoft - 1.74.3 at the time I'm writing this - runs fine and all features (like debugging) appear to work IF you use the ZIP download. Every time I start it, it pops up the message "Visual Studio Code on Windows 7 will no longer receive any further updates." But when the next update comes along, I plan to just download the newest zip.

    Note that all the projects I had opened in the installed version are still available in the zipped version. So, I won't be upgrading this system to Windows 10.
