VSCode system-wide installation warning

UPDATE (Recommended by @Fabio Turati)

Just uninstalling the older one without the (USER) extension, it seems working. If not, then uninstall the one left and reinstall vscode.

additional reading:

You installed the new one (with USER extension) before uninstalling the older one. So now you have both, and this is why you get that message. You need to uninstall them both, then reinstall vs code. Make sure you add a shortcut on desktop, it took me a few more minutes to find the .exe of vs code. No worries you don't lose anything by uninstalling...

cheers !

You probably have both versions installed (like I do).

To get rid of the warning, make sure you open the user-wide version. That means unpinning the one you used to have from everywhere.

Then use windows (10) search: visual studio code . Only the ' user-wide distribution' gets shown. If you open visual studio code that way, the warning is gone.
