Another user posted a workaround for the self signed certificate in certificate chain issue on Windows.

Install the win-ca extension, which makes Trusted Root Certificates on Windows available to VSCode extensions.

Let us know if this workaround fixes your issue.

A change released in the VS Code 1.78 April release breaks loading OS certificates on Windows. Meaning self-signed certificates and CA certificates picked up from a network proxy are currently broken. See microsoft/vscode#181404 for more details.

It looks like VS Code is planning to include a fix in the 1.78.2 release (April recovery 2).

Until that is released, you can downgrade to VS Code version 1.77. Also, other users have had success installing the win-ca extension, which makes Trusted Root Certificates on Windows available to VS Code extensions.

Another workaround if your CA certificate is provided by a network proxy is to configure the proxy related settings in VS Code.

VS Code just released version 1.78.2 which should fix the certificates issue, could you please update VS Code and retry the operation?
