{% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} troubleshooting
When you connect a desktop version of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} to a codespace, you will notice few differences compared with working in a normal workspace but the experience will be fairly similar.
When you open a codespace in your browser using {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} in the web, you will notice more differences. For example, some key bindings will be different or missing, and some extensions may behave differently. For a summary, see: "Known limitations and adaptions" in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} docs.
You can check for known issues and log new issues with the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} experience in the microsoft/vscode repository.
{% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Insiders
{% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Insiders is the most frequent release of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}. It has all the latest features and bug fixes, but may also occasionally contain new issues that result in a broken build.
If you are using an Insiders build and notice broken behavior, we recommend switching to {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable and trying again.
On the desktop version of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, you can switch to Stable by closing the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Insiders application, opening the {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable application, and re-opening your codespace.
On the web version of {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, you can click {% octicon "gear" aria-label="The manage icon" %} in the bottom left of the editor and select Switch to Stable Version.... If the web version doesn't load or the {% octicon "gear" aria-label="The manage icon" %} icon isn't available, you can force switching to {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable by appending ?vscodeChannel=stable to your codespace URL and loading the codespace at that URL.
If the problem isn't fixed in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} Stable, please follow the above troubleshooting instructions.
