VS Code did the same for me this morning. It turned out that the exe to launch the programme had nested itself one folder further hence all shortcuts were broken. It used to be at C:\Users"User"\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe but now it's at C:\Users"User"\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\_\Code.exe
Updating the taskbar shortcut can be done by right clicking the icon, right clicking "Visual Studio Code", selecting "Properties" and then editing the "Target".
Same happened here, and I can't find it anywhere. I guess I'll just install again but I had to look up if there was an issue with this first.
I also lost my VS Code installation (installed via the Microsoft Store) after the Windows 11 24H2 update. When viewing the store page, it says the application is installed and can be viewed in the start menu. There is no trace of the application in my start menu and all previous links are broken!
Windows prevents Python Idle to run the python scipts by context menu and efforts to add "Edit with Idle" Context menu fails. Both Vscode Authomatic uninstallation And Idle disabling occured after updating windows to 24h2.
I faced a similar issue; my VS code was yanked out of my system as well after the update.
