VS Code not activating extensions

Question

I´m having problems and I can´t figure out how to fix them. Since the last update (1.57.0) my VS Code is not working was expected. First it prompt me when opening a folder if I trust the authors, I check yes and then I put my parent folder with all my projects.

After two days the Git extension started to show me the message "The folder currently open doesn't have a git repository.". But there the folder has a git repository, and if got to terminal I can use all the git features.

I notice that no extensions are loaded:

If I change the folder to another project several times, after a while finally the extension is loaded, even in a folder that hasn´t loaded before, I can see the "Activating Extensions..." message at the status bar:

I´ve searched for this problem in many sites, forums, vscode repository issues and nothing help me. When I open the "Output" tab I notice that there are no extensions output.

I already tried to uninstall and install VS Code again with no success.

Answer 1

I fix it doing a complete uninstall of VS Code:

1. Use the uninstall: "%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/uninst000.exe"

2. Delete directory "%USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/Code"

3. Delete directory "%USERPROFILE%/.vscode"
