VScode deleting itself

Question

I have a problem where my VSCode keeps deleting itself after I do anything on it. e.g. when I code in Latex or just using it as a text editor, the entire code.exe itself keeps deleting itself. I have been downloading the latest version from the website itself but it still does the same thing with deleting itself.

PS. When I say deleting itself, I meant the entire VSCode uninstalls itself.

Thanks.

There are several steps to kinda fix this:

1. First run troubleshooter. https://i.stack.imgur.com/jRdXI.png

2. If the problem continues, uninstall using unins000.exe in the folder where you installed vscode, and reinstall it.

3. If you use insiders build, kindle use the standard or non-insiders version.

4. If the problem still continues, check for updates in your pc and make sure you have updated your pc to the latest.

It should work after this, if not kindle contact the vscode support through get help app or your pc's manufacturer's support team.

Hope this helps in your wonderful coding journey!!
