Way to fix :
Clean uninstall
If you want to remove all user data after uninstalling VS Code, you can delete the user data folders Code and .vscode. This will return you to the state before you installed VS Code. This can also be used to reset all settings if you don't want to uninstall VS Code.The folder locations will vary depending on your platform:
Windows - Delete
%APPDATA%\Code and %USERPROFILE%\.vscode.
- Delete the registry
- open run (win+r)
- type
regedit
and press enter.
Delete this registry
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{771FD6B0-FA20-440A-A002-3B3BAC16DC50}_is1
Now hopefully you will be able to install the vscode again on your windows machine.
