Type: Performance Issue

Whenever I open my vscode it shows
"your code installation appears to be corrupt. please reinstall"
I performed the reinstallation many times but still it appears.

Maybe one of your extensions is modifying core VS Code files.

Maybe one of your extensions is modifying core VS Code files.

I installed a background changing extention "https://github.com/shalldie/vscode-background"
I think that's causing the problem bcos I get the corrupt message when the extention starts working...
Do I have to disable the Extention or Any way to resolve the error message

[gjsjohnmurray]

I think you have to choose between using the extension or getting rid of the warning.
