VS Code: 'Open With Code' Option Missing? Here's Why
Discussion category:

Additional information:
Type: Bug
Hey, I am using VS Code for all my coding stuff, and it is very impressive. But in the last few days, there was a recent update. After that, I noticed that the option "Open with VS Code" in the context menu in Windows disappeared. It was quite handy to open a certain folder in VS Code.
Please look into this. I would be glad and happy if it starts to appear again.
