I have Visual Studio Code 1.27.2 on Windows 10.
Background:
Recently there was an issue in the system not related to VS, and I had to run system repair which seems to have messed up with the settings of various programs, including VS.
Current situation:
Now when I open VS I get this:
title bar of VS with 'Unsupported' at the end
warning: "Your Code installation appears to be corrupt. Please reinstall."
According to the official FAQ, this can be due to fishy extensions. But this seems unlikely given that the last extension I installed was more than a week before this incident, and more importantly because of the system-wide settings shake-up.
Main issue:
When I try to access settings directly, I get another strange error:
warning: "Unable to open 'User Settings': e.replace is not a function (2 errors in total)."
This function didn't look familiar so I looked it up and it was in the doxygen code, which has not changed for weeks, so also don't think this is the real issue.
I tried the suggestions here but there was nothing found in my folders.
I plan on re-installing in all cases. It's not the end of the world if the settings are gone, but it would be great to ensure they are saved because I spent a lot of trial and error customizing them.
