Is there any /run/user/1000/*.sock file while Code is running?

[scottstensland]

yes see my above comment where I list directory /run/user/1000/

[joaomoreno]

Oh sorry about that. I know this sounds dumb... but have you tried restarting? Also, are you sure you don't have two versions of Code installed?
