I’ve been experiencing an issue with Visual Studio Code where it won’t open at all. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling it several times, but there are no changes. I’m using [your operating system].
Steps I’ve taken:
1. Uninstalled VS Code.
2. Deleted any remaining VS Code folders.
3. Restarted my computer.
4. Reinstalled VS Code.
Despite these steps, when I try to open VS Code, nothing happens. There are no error messages or any indications of what might be wrong.

Originally I found https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/81970, but it doesn’t mention a solution. I have it where the pid of the process constantly changes.
Then I found https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/219893, which worked for me.
The solution was to rename the installed Visual Code and download version 1.90.
this worked for me:
uninstall the currrent installation
go the link to download v1.90 https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_90
Install and update the setting.json: "update.mode": "none" in File > Preferences > Settings
the bad is that I lost all my settings
