My VSCode keeps closing immediately when opened, I can't define the exact cause but this started to e around after I made some changes in my registry to fix my memory usage issues. The following keys are the keys that I modified when I was fixing my memory issue, I don't know if any of these caused the problem.

Modified Registry Keys: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> ClearPageFileAtShutdown Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> DisablePagingExecutive Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> LargeSystemCache Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> NonPagedPoolSize Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> PagedPoolSize Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> PhysicalAddressExtension Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> SessionPoolSize Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management -> SessionViewSize

How my VSC problem looks like: vsc problem preview

I reinstalled the app several twice and searched for solutions but no luck.

Somehow, I got it back working. All I did was delete the folder C:\Users\Me\.vscode, what is the reason that this fixed it?

• 1 I would guess there was something in the .vscode folder that was causing problems. It's tough to say, without seeing what was previously in it.
