macos – VSC.app does not open anymore: it bounces 2 times and stops. Is there a fix?
After updating Visual Studio Code June 2024 (version 1.91) on macOS Big Sur v.11.710, It does not open the VSC.app anymore. It bounces 2 times and stops.
I deleted the code.lock file located at /Users/Name/Library/Application\ Support/Code/code.lock
I even restored it from my Time Machine backup and it does the same thing (bounces 2 times and stops).
Is anyone having the same issue, is there any fix?
