If you click Extensions > Manage Extensions > Roaming Extension Manager, you will see the listed roaming Extensions. This feature will provide you with a list displaying all of your extensions installed across all of your environments and allow you to download directly from that list.
How do you export VS Code extensions and settings? Run command palette Ctrl + Shift + P. Type VSC Export.
Most extensions are per-user and are installed in the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<Visual Studio version>\Extensions\ folder. A few extensions are administrative extensions and are installed in the <Visual Studio installation folder>\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ folder.
Navigate to Tools – Options – Environment – Import / Export Settings. you can export your existing settings and save. Next time if you want your settings to be applied to Visual Studio you just need to have your exported settings file, you can then just import the settings file.
There is no built-in mechanism for exporting the installed extensions for Visual Studio. The easiest way to approach this problem is to simply write down the list of extensions and reinstall them once you've got your machine up and running again.
One trick you could try is the following. The binaries for many but not all extensions are stored under
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions
You could simply zip up that directory, save it somewhere, re-install windows + vs and then unzip the file on the new machine. I do not know if that would work but it may be worth trying.
