How to downgrade vscode

I am experiencing a problem with debugging in vscode just after the last update. There's something going on (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45657)

I'd like to check the previous version to see if my case is a problem here or in vscode but I can not find instructions on how to downgrade (I suppose it's possible)

You should disable auto update (as mentioned by Gregory in the comment) to prevent it from auto updating itself later upon restart. To do this, go to Preferences, Settings and then search for 'update'. Set it to 'none' as shown below:

Visual studio docs now have a section documenting all Url endpoints for downloading platform and archive specific downloads.

For ex. for Windows 64 bit zip the download endpoint is : https://update.code.visualstudio.com/{version}/win32-x64-archive/stable
