How to downgrade vscode


I am experiencing a problem with debugging in vscode just after the last update. There's something going on (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/45657)

I'd like to check the previous version to see if my case is a problem here or in vscode but I can not find instructions on how to downgrade (I suppose it's possible)


Solution

  • Previous versions of Visual Studio Code can be downloaded here:

    https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/

    Pick the version you want from the list on the left, and then click on the download link for your OS as shown here:

    You should disable auto update (as mentioned by Gregory in the comment) to prevent it from auto updating itself later upon restart. To do this, go to Preferences, Settings and then search for 'update'. Set it to 'none' as shown below:
