VS Code will not update (stuck on preparing to install page) #43949

Description

@mesternefeld
  • VSCode Version: Code 1.19.3 (7c4205b, 2018-01-25T10:36:34.867Z)
  • OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.16299
  • Extensions:
Extension Author (truncated) Version
vscode-view-readme ans 0.2.1
solargraph cas 0.12.0
cpptools ms- 0.15.0
csharp ms- 1.14.0
Ruby reb 0.16.0
vscode-icons rob 7.20.0

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Press update and the VSCode process stops responding and never installs update.
    This also happens when I install the newest version from online and try to install without uninstalling.

I also have this issue on the other computer on the Windows Insider Build. I can post that OS version if needed since it happens on both.

If it helps, the VSCode process that stops says VSCodex32 bit which seems a bit odd since the version I have is 64 bit.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes
