confirm issue exists too after last update. But for me it's random... And doesn't matter which project I open

I think it would be useful following https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Performance-Issues

I think it would be useful following https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Performance-Issues

There is nothing about solving complete freezes like this there.
How to rollback this update?

anrikun · 2025-02-06T21:01:21Z

To rollback this update (Windows):

Download version 1.96 here: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_96
Install it
BUT turn off your internet connection before starting VSCode
Go to settings : update > mode > none

robertZaufall · 2025-02-06T21:27:00Z

Same freeze on Windows 11 ARM64. MacOS version is running without problems.

jlmasson · 2025-02-06T21:31:25Z

Same freeze on Windows 11 ARM64. MacOS version is running without problems.

Mac Silicon Version has this issue, too.

wgroh · 2025-02-06T23:06:09Z

Have the same issue on my Raspberry Pi with newest update (OS and VSC). Starting VS Code and after a few seconds it freeze. Can select commands from the menu but nothing happens. Happens with and without extensions.

FabricioDosSantosMoreira · 2025-02-07T00:14:56Z

Same here. VS Code Always freezes after opening a terminal tab.

brpadilha · 2025-02-07T01:32:09Z

yes @FabricioDosSantosMoreira its the same here, only freeze when I open terminal. I got crazy reinstalling everything like extensions and zsh pluggins lol, and nothing works, only when I made the downgrade

bpasero · 2025-02-07T05:34:54Z

We are sorry for the trouble, but need to gather more information for how to reproduce this issue. I hear that people notice this crash when they open a terminal in VS Code, is that true for all users? And if so, anything specifically configured in settings or with the terminal in the OS that could hint to why it crashes?

Also, if you could try to reproduce from our insider builds: You can give our preview releases a try from: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

meganrogge · 2025-02-07T05:45:45Z

I cannot reproduce on macOS. Can you please follow these steps?

It appears most of the reports are from Windows 10 x64, I see one on Windows 11 arm (#239838 (comment)), one on raspberry pi arm (#239838 (comment)), one on Linux arm (#239838 (comment)), one on mac arm (#239838 (comment)).

Tyriar · 2025-02-07T09:09:15Z

I don't have any of the above hardware but will keep trying. Looking at the screenshot I think it's a window freeze caused by an infinite loop. If anyone can reproduce this reliably, these steps would help narrow it down:

Open VS Code
Open developer tools (Help > Toggle Developer Tools)
Open the terminal to cause the issue
Open the sources tab in developer tools and hit the pause button

That should freeze somewhere, giving context of somewhere that keeps looping. A screenshot of the code and the call stack to the right would be useful. Additionally you should be able to play and pause again and get a similar stack somewhere else if it's not obvious from that why it's looping.

Tyriar · 2025-02-07T09:13:37Z

@widersky I see you have terminal.integrated.suggest.enabled set, does turning that off help?

Tyriar · 2025-02-07T09:47:57Z

Tried on a Windows x64 10 (19044) VM and doesn't reproduce with no settings, suggest enabled or the settings in #239838 (comment)

igorfonseca05 · 2025-02-07T09:52:36Z

I solved this problem yestarday , using win + R to opening up the windows terminal and typing in the terminal "code --disable-gpu", most likely it's a gpu problem and can be solved in "file > preferences > settings" in the search field type "gpu" and find "Enable GPU Acceleration", turn it off e restart Vscode.

widersky · 2025-02-07T09:54:58Z

@Tyriar unfortunately not :(

Tells me if it is helped for you!

Reminder: Make changes after add in the terminal the "code --disable-gpu" and open up the VS Code, other way the program is gonna break up.

widersky · 2025-02-07T10:02:59Z

@igorfonseca05 I’ve had this option disabled for months because it was causing stuttering when scrolling through code — without GPU Acceleration on macOS M1 the code scrolls much more smoothly. Changing this option doesn’t help anyway; I just tried it a moment ago.

zyazevav · 2025-02-07T10:05:58Z

@Tyriar
I have overlapping settings in settings.json with the above:
""workbench.ColorTheme": "Default Dark Modern",
"editor.defaultFormatter": "charliermarsh.ruff",
"github.copilot.advanced": {
"authProvider": "github"
}
Maybe it will help.

I understand, i hope you manage to solve your problem as faster as possible, good luck! 🙂

wgroh · 2025-02-07T10:13:22Z

Have installed Code on a second Raspberry Pi and can reproduce the issue when open a terminal. No settings changed. But starting Code with GPU disabled Code works.

chrispstephens · 2025-02-07T10:24:10Z

It appears most of the reports are from Windows 10 x64, I see one on Windows 11 arm ...

For me, the issue appears on Windows 11 VM running on a Windows 11 arm host with Hyper-V.
It does not appear on Windows 11 arm host. Running code --disable-gpu did not resolve issue in the VM.

deepak1556 · 2025-02-07T10:37:45Z

While we are working to collect info on reproing the issue, I would also like to collect some runtime traces that could help with debugging this issue, can affected users try the following steps

Close all running instances of the application
Start the application with the following flags code --trace --trace-category-filter="blink,gpu,v8,disabled-by-default-v8.cpu_profiler,disabled-by-default-v8.stack_trace"
Once the freeze happens, click on the Reopen button
Open command palette and run Developer: Stop Tracing

This will generate a trace file, attach it to this issue

chrispstephens · 2025-02-07T10:48:02Z

I can confirm turning off "Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration" resolves issue on my Windows 11 VM arm.

Here is the trace after turning "Terminal › Integrated: Gpu Acceleration" to auto.

@chrispstephens It's working on MacOS ARM too!

This worked for me. Thanks! 😊. Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS - 64-bit

Tyriar · 2025-02-07T11:10:32Z

Thanks for the trace, it appears the issue is occurring when the texture atlas is warming up, so turning off gpuAcceleration should workaround the problem.

deepak1556 · 2025-02-07T11:12:18Z

As a follow-up given the issue is happening in the gpu path we would like to see if there is a common denominator in the backend used. Can users run Develope: Show GPU info and in the new window click Download Report to FIle.

wgroh · 2025-02-07T11:20:24Z

Attached see the GPU report from my Raspberry Pi:

@deepak1556 https://gist.github.com/Ratstail91/eb4ffa06fe67f8e2a474fed75db31f31

I'm running on a Raspberry Pi v5, 8GB model, and the --disable-gpu flag does seem to fix the issue, though a proper fix would be nice.
