It was a regression bug when publishing the SPS definitions! I accidentally published an old version of VSCode instead of the newest one.
Sorry for the inconvenience!


I have just updated the program definition, so please proceed this way:
- Open SyMenu
- Go to SPS Manager
- Refresh the program definitions using the force button (if you can't find it, check the manual here: https://www.ugmfree.it/manual#SPSForm and look for "you can force it pressing the special button")
- Search for Visual Studio Code Portable (x64)
- Right-click on the grid item and choose Force update from web site

Everything will be fixed... provided you haven't moved the Data folder from its original location (it must be located in .\data).

Please let me know the outcome!]]> Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:26:21 GMT https://ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=979 Analysis of the local directory structure indicates that the Data folder contains the application extensions, such as anthropic.claude-code, github.vscode-pull-request-github, and ms-python.black-formatter. When the new version is extracted to an isolated directory path without migrating this Data folder, the application loses access to all previously installed extensions and user configurations.
Attach is the tree of the new VScode after updating from SyManu and old tree before updating.


I request a fix to the SyMenu update configuration for Visual Studio Code. The update process must ensure the Data directory is preserved and correctly linked to the active installation path.]]> Fri, 07 Aug 2026 15:08:09 GMT
