VS Code was docking devtools pane within the window before. Now, It opens a new window that increases back and forth. Is there any way to dock it back? I tried a few settings they did not work. Also, there is no dock icon as in Chrome.

In the devtools panel, click the vertically-aligned three dots at the top right. That will open up a context menu. You will see a "Dock side" entry with different icons signifying option values for that setting. You probably accidentally clicked the one that makes it pop the devtools out into its own window. Select whichever option you actually want there.
This started with vscode v1.74 and is an electron bug. See The developer tools become a floating window.
There is a fix reported there. Disable the setting
You will be prompted to restart vscode and then opening the Dev Tools will be docked as before. Apparently, the Electron bug has been fixed.
