Visual Studio Code – SignatureIntegrityCheckFailed error when downloading VS Code extensions

I just formatted my computer and installed VS Code, but when I went to download some extension, an error appeared and asked to check the "log", and then an error appeared in the console.

I tried searching the program files but found nothing.

    Just a workaround. There is an issue raised but long inactive issue

    Try this, this worked for me after all the other struggle with this bug.

    "ProgramsMicrosoft VS CodeCode.exe" –ignore-certificate-errors

    The security part of this is that, your trust store or at least the one VS code is using is not able to verify the authenticity. So be mindful of the risk involved.

    Version 1.77 has no more that issue.

    This is a known issue. VS Code 1.77 includes a "patch" (more like a workaround I think) for this, and the maintainers are working on fixing the underlying issues in the meantime. See the release notes, which state:

    Extension installation not blocked by signature verification failures

    Extension signature verification is incorrectly reporting errors for a small number of valid extensions and preventing them from being installed. These failures are caused by bugs in the VS Marketplace and VS Code and we are actively working on fixes. In order to unblock extension use, VS Code will install extensions even if signing verification fails. We will reenable signature verification checking once VS Marketplace issue #619 is fixed, most likely in our next Stable release.
