I have LogMeIn Hamachi installed. What I have found out is if I have my WiFi not connected to a network and Hamachi "off" VSCode will not open.

Now, if I am still not connected to Wi-Fi but turn on Hamachi. Hamachi will detect there is no network connection but ask me if I would like for it to continue to check for a connection. VSCode will open. The computer does not have an internet connection but basically the network adapters show up as having a lan port but it does not have a network connection.

A workaround for now.
