Similar problem with failing to launch directly from elevated command prompt. Normal command prompt works fine. I have Citrix installed, but I'm not using it.

Also maybe worth mentioning that I tried launching VSCode elevated from a shortcut, powershell 5 & 7 sessions...none of them worked and all did basically the same thing with the outline for the VSCode app window briefly flashing on screen before it dies.

Rerunning with --verbose --disable-extensions produced the following:

VSCode does not support launching as elevated due to the application sandbox from the runtime. @brocawernicke are you also running the application as elevated ?

chewiiieee · 2022-04-26T15:02:56Z

Ok, thanks deepak for that.

If I can't launch VSCode with admin privileges how do I debug Powershell scripts or anything for that matter that has OS APIs that demand elevated privileges to run? I've gone looking and I've search VSCode settings to see if maybe the debugging session can simply be elevated and I can't find any "admin" or "elevated" related settings. Searching online points to a bunch of dated articles with little value.

"Run as admin" is a really basic and common Windows OS level feature and whether it supported or not, VSCode should simply not be dying on it. Not ever. Not really sure what level of information is being logged to the console but it sure doesn't appear like a proper exception identifying the error.
Is there no feature check system early on where you can add a "if running as Admin" and putting up a message saying "Running VSCode with elevated privileges is unsupported" ?

Can you try launching with --disable-gpu-sandbox with latest stable version 1.73

rogererens · 2022-12-09T16:05:57Z

I always used .\code --no-sandbox to overcome the error message.
Using the option --disable-gpu-sandbox seems to work here, too.

Please continue to use those flags if elevation is required.

Merging to #122951
