Question 129977 in Visual Studio Code Question posted in
View the official documentation.

Visual studio code taking more than 30 seconds to open and shows windows error that it isnt responding

I checked task manager, it shows this

task manager processes

Vs code takes about 30 seconds to load and within that time its just a blank screen, but the moment it does load it shows a window error message saying it isn’t responding.

I checked other issues and went to settings, turning the enable preview on workbench editor in the settings to false and scanning the system in terminal (which said it fixed a couple files but issue still persisted). I uninstalled and reinstalled, updated windows and disabled all extensions that I had on vs code and tried opening it again but nothing worked. Not sure what to do now.

    Open the program once and when the error shows, close the program using the task manager. And try again, it was solved like this for me

    You did try many solutions, try also following:

    1. Run VS Code in safe mode: on command prompt type code --disable-extension --disable-gpu --disable-telemetry --safe. This will launch VS Code with all extensions disabled. If this works, then the issue is related to extensions.
    2. Reset VS Code Settings: File -> Preferences -> Settings -> Reset Settings. It should reset VS Code settings to default.
    3. Clear VS Code Cache: In windows %APPDATA%Code find and delete Cache and CachedData folders, then restart the editor
