Why should someone update to the 64 bit version of Vs Code?

All the info I can find basically says the 64 bit version is available but I can't find any info on what exactly that means? How is it different from the 32bit version?

How can I make my VS Code run faster?

Here's how to do it: Simply disable your extensions one at a time, and check to see if it made a difference. If your performance issues are obvious (E.g. files take 2 sec to open) than this should be quite easy. Disable → test → enable → disable the next one → test → etc.

Can I use VS Code in 32-bit?

32-bit versions If you need to run a 32-bit version of VS Code, both a 32-bit Installer and Zip archive are available.

From the release notes:

  • Large file support - Improved performance for large files, no size limit on 64-bit machines.
  • 64-bit Windows builds - Use your computer's full address space with the 64-bit builds.

For example, to open large files (the 32 bit version has now a limit of 300 MB, previously it was 50 MB) you'll need the 64 bit version.
