Type: Bug

C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\resources\app\out directory being deleted nightly for about 2 weeks now. After this happens, open VS Code windows are partially functional but new windows will not open, triggering this error instead.

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS
Code\resources\app\out\main.js' imported from C:\WINDOWS\system32

at moduleResolve (node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:940:10)
continued...

To fix it, I end all vscode processes in windows task manager, then re-run installer. I've noticed when closing the processes, there are a few vscode install/uninstall processes running when stuck in this state, so I'm not sure if this is due to some self-update going wrong.

Not sure if this is being caused by a VS code bug or my company's antivirus software. Any help would be appreciated.
