I have been using visual studio code for more than 2 years now. I have been having problems lately and the computer is being not responding at all. And I have found that visual studio code is using more than 2GB of RAM. Is there any solution to this?

  • You could try optimising some of the usage by following the steps mentioned here https://dev.to/claudiodavi/reducing-vscode-memory-consumption-527k – Vinoth A Sep 10 '19 at 09:50
  • the now removed `previewHTML` could use up to 2GB, the new `WebView` does not have this problem – rioV8 Sep 10 '19 at 10:20
  • Which version of VSCode? What platform are you running it on? What extensions do you have installed? How are you measuring the memory usage? – Scott McPeak Sep 10 '19 at 14:13
  • I'm using 1.38 version of vscode in ubuntu 18.04 with gitlens extension and nothing more. – yednap Sep 17 '19 at 08:51
