'Why am I getting the error: An error occurred while trying to create a file in the destination directory
I don't know why I am getting this error suddenly whilst using vs code. Please help me, Thanks in advance.
P.S(I don't think files can be created in an exe right? I'm not sure after seeing this. Maybe do I have to specify where the file should be created and if yes, please tell me how. Else I'm looking for another answer)
(Edit): I tried downloading the system installation instead of the user installation. The system installer installs for all users on the system and needs administrator privileges unlike the user installer which install vs code only the particular user installing it.
Thanks, Codestrip

my solution for this was to set it to always start as administrator, I don't feel like reinstalling vscode (newly installed) It's not a great solution for those who have multiple users, but I got rid of the error.
Ah, I saw that was a problem within User Permission, there were only 2 options checked. https://prnt.sc/uV-bF_q52Y3Y
I hope my solution will help you.
