Hi! Today I update my work PC with the 24H2 update of windows. After the installation I realized that Visual Studio Code disappeared without any sign of life. A sudden uninstallation of the program. So, I had to download install it again, with all the extensions and configurations restored.

These are my specs:

    I faced a similar issue; my VS code was yanked out of my system as well after the update. For some unknown reason. Now I am not sure if this is the only software that vanished or there is some more.

    "we haven't heard a similar report" seriously? I suppose that quite a few people are tired and don't manifest anymore...

    That last update of Windows has been a killer: I lost Visual Studio Code as well, quite a few tools and all of a sudden, after 2 months and a half, Microsoft has decided that my Win11 valid licence wasn't... valid any more.

    No need to respond, the damage is done, and I've lost CHF 278 to re-activate the free update.

    I have the same issue. Even uninstalling and re-installing hasn't helped. I still don't have VSCode

    I have noticed the same problem today on Windows 11 24H2. Firstly I tried to reinstall from Microsoft Store (where I previously downloaded VS Code) but for some reason it said 'installed', so I reinstalled VS Code with the installer from the official page and now all works fine. All extensions and opened files have been automatically recovered.
