VS Code Quits/Crashes

Anyone else having issues with VS Code just closing?

I already removed and installed to see if it would fix but it hasn’t.

Not seeing it myself, and I have VS Code open about 95% of the time my computer is logged, although I haven’t used the computer much since Friday morning.

Thanks for the reply.

I’m running Manjaro

This is the output I get when I run ‘code --status’, any help resolving this will truly be appriciated.

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

There are some similar cases when you search this forum for “gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders”. Some of the threads have workarounds people have tried.
