'There was an error while Opening file handle
Okay so I am trying to update my VS Code but every time I click on restart to update I get the error message saying that :
"There was an error while Opening file handle: C:\Users\neela\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\logs\custom-scanner-service.log": failed to create file handle: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Please read the log file for more information : C:\Users\neela\AppData\Local\Temp\vscode-inno-updater-1624166774.log
After I opened the log file mentioned above here's what it says : Jun 20 11:00:03.966 ERRO Failed to create file handle: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Can someone please guide me on this situation.
Solution 1:[1]
I had faced the same problem for two days. Then I ran the vs code as administrator and check for update manually from the top help menu. It got updated successfully then.
Solution 2:[2]
I tried taking ownership of the %appdata% vs code files, but ultimately I still ended up needing to run the update as admin.
