I was struggling to update VS code from within the program, 'Check For Updates' was greyed out.\r\n2. Reinstalled an older version 1.4.0 onto my machine so i had two versions of VS Code installed. 1.4.0 and a slightly newer one (cannot remember version number). Successfully updated to v 1.20 from within the 1.4.0 version i had on my machine\r\n3. Decided would be good idea to uninstall both versions i had on my machine in case of any issues this may have caused.\r\n4. Re-installed 1.4.0 onto my machine but now when i open code.exe nothing happens.\r\n5. Uninstalled and re-installed 1.4.0 with restarting my machine to no gain. Still nothing happens when i open code.exe.\r\n\r\n<!-- Launch with `code --disable-extensions` to check. -->\r\nDoes this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes\r\n\r\nI am web dev so no knowledge of what issues there may be. I have read some similar posts that suggest opening code from cmd using code --verbose as possible debugging method however i don't actually know what this means.\r\nThe results of doing so are shown below.\r\n\r\n\r\nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code>code --verbose\r\n\r\nC:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code>\r\n(08:39:55) ### VSCode main.js ###\r\n(08:39:55) c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app { pathArgument\r\ns: [],\r\n  programStart: 0,\r\n  enablePerformance: false,\r\n  verboseLogging: true,\r\n  debugExtensionHostPort: undefined,\r\n  debugBrkExtensionHost: false,\r\n  logExtensionHostCommunication: false,\r\n  debugBrkFileWatcherPort: undefined,\r\n  openNewWindow: false,\r\n  openInSameWindow: false,\r\n  gotoLineMode: false,\r\n  diffMode: false,\r\n  extensionsHomePath: undefined,\r\n  extensionDevelopmentPath: undefined,\r\n  extensionTestsPath: undefined,\r\n  disableExtensions: false,\r\n  locale: undefined,\r\n  waitForWindowClose: false }\r\nTypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined\r\n    at e.setOpenRecentMenu (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\a\r\npp\\out\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:9:31704)\r\n    at e.setFileMenu (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\out\r\n\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:9:29197)\r\n    at e.install (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\out\\vs\\\r\ncode\\electron-main\\main.js:9:25535)\r\n    at e.ready (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\out\\vs\\co\r\nde\\electron-main\\main.js:9:23732)\r\n    at I (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\out\\vs\\code\\ele\r\nctron-main\\main.js:10:13508)\r\n    at t.invokeFunction (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\\r\nout\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:7:22888)\r\n    at C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\out\\vs\\code\\electr\r\non-main\\main.js:10:16924\r\n    at Object.v [as _notify] (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\r\n\\app\\out\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:5:6935)\r\n    at Object.R.enter (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\app\\ou\r\nt\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:5:10513)\r\n    at n.Class.define._run (C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft VS Code\\resources\\a\r\npp\\out\\vs\\code\\electron-main\\main.js:5:12341)\r\n\r\n\r\nIf someone could assist me that would be great, if anymore info is required please let me know.\r\n\r\nThanks.\r\n"}}
