@QuecisJoshua Does this still reproduce for you? Generally we wouldn't recommending changing your PATH but that should be unrelated. Are there any logs that could be shared?

Might be related.

Every time I start my computer I run into the [ERROR] Error: spawn cmd ENOENT issue.
C:\Windows\System32 is already in my Path.
The strange part is that if I open the 'Edit Environment Variables' dialog, select 'C:\Windows\System32' and then close the popup (without changing anything) it fixes the issue. I can now open VS Code, and the OmniSharp works perfectly.

Windows is not my primary OS, so I apologize if I'm doing something obviously stupid.
