Older Windows 10 Builds - compatibility issues
As this is mainly programmed on Windows 11 with it's more tightly integrated WSL environment some features do not work as good or even don't on Windows 10.
Here is some stuff I have encountered. Feel free to add anything:
- In WSL terminal
code .
is not recognized. - Open folder just opens explorer not the WSL destination although
explorer.exe .
works in the terminal. - "Open with VS Code" button doesn't open it (always).
This might be very specific to the Windows 10 Pro 20H2 Build 19042.1586 with WSL 2.
EDIT: After updating Windows (still on Windows 10) following happens with code .
Updating VS Code Server to version e18005f0f1b33c29e81d732535d8c0e47cafb0b5
Removing previous installation...
ERROR: Failed to download the VS Code server. 'wget' not installed.
Please install wget:
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install wget
Latest debian rootfs doesn't have wget pre-installed so maybe check for wget before trying to start code .
and show an error message.
