Context menu entries "Open with..." not available with insiders system setup
Since last update the "Open with" context menu entries for VSCode Insiders disappeared on Windows 10. Uninstall/Reinstall and selecting related options don't change anything.

This was a side effect of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/254613 for the system setup, user setup will have the context menu. System setup needs some work to enable it due to difference in appx package setup. It will be fixed in next release.

User setup has the same problem.
@tongguang are you seeing the issue with stable or insiders user setup ?

I'm also on a Windows 10, using the user version. I found this problem after upgrading, and uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work either
Thanks for confirming, in that case please follow https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/260389 which is specific to stable version.
