VSCode crashes
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.99.0 4437686ffebaf200fa4a6e6e67f735f3edf24ada x64
- OS Version: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise, 10.0.26100 N/A Build 26100
Steps to Reproduce:
- Start the App, wait until the UI loads and see it crashing
Issue still present with the recent VS Code Version: 1.99.1. 1.98.2 is working
I have the same problem and replication steps. I can upload the crash dump file I captured using --crash-reporter-directory. I have also tried uninstalling completely, cleaned up the user folders for all relevant traces. Even after this, reinstalling versions 1.99.0 or 1.99.1 results in VSCode crashing as soon as it opens.
@deepak1556 , @aiday-mar , Any updates on this crash issue? I have been trying to update to the latest version for a few weeks now, however, all the following versions: 1.99.0, 1.99.1, 1.99.2, 1.99.3 have been resulting in the same crash issue. Going back to 1.98.2 is the only way I have been able to avoid this crash issue. I normally use System installer, however I have also tried user installer options, but that hasn't solved the problems.
1.99.3 still crashes ;) I sent a crash dump, have you had the chance to look at it?
I tried with the latest version 1.100.0 and the crash issue still persists. Now it is even worse as I am unable to rollback to version 1.98.2 which was previously working.
I had to downgrade my vscode to 1.96.4 to get it back to working state. At this rate, several extensions are already showing up as incompatible with this several months old version. Need urgent help to resolve this issue. @deepak1556 , @aiday-mar , Any updates on this crash issue?
@jedilord I have to downgrade vcode every now and then despite the setting for explicitly manual upgrades.
I use Winget to uninstall vscode and install 1.98.2, the latest version I can use without issues.
I tried once more to find out what's wrong, but I don't have much time, tbh. but here's what I did:
Attempted running vscode with the most isolated enviornment possible
Activate the crashpad dumps, and Symbolicated one of the dumps (attached) with electron-minidump:

@Zefrock thanks for trying to troubleshoot the issue. It appears that after 1.96.4, some new enhancement that was introduced is causing the error. Earlier I was able to downgrade to 1.98.2 and keep working. However after I Installed 1.100.0, not only did it also keep crashing at start, but even if I downgraded to 1.98.2 (which was a previously working version), it continued to crash at start. Hence, I had to keep downgrading to previous versions and found 1.96.4 to be the latest stable version that worked for me. Subsequently I had turned off the upgrade notifications so that I can continue to use a stable and working version. Considering none of the deva have triaged this issue till now, not sure what can be an alternative way to resolve this issue.
