Hi @Jinx , Thanks for reaching out!
From what I understand, when Visual Studio Code doesn’t respond after opening, it’s often due to issues like a corrupted user profile, problematic extensions, or GPU rendering conflicts. These are common and usually fixable, but they can vary by OS and setup.
For the most accurate troubleshooting steps, I’d highly recommend checking the official Visual Studio Code FAQ as it covers startup problems, cache resets, and extension isolation in detail.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to comment below. I'll be happy to assist!
Hi, Thanks for the quick response! I am on a company windows system where I do not have the admin. I clear the cache but is it not fixing the issue.
Hi @Jinx ,
Thanks for the update!
I managed to find an article that covers this issue, perhaps you could try it out first:

Hope this helps! If you find this suggestion helpful, please kindly consider marking this answer so others can find help from your post easily.
