Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.83.1. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Confirming for 83.1 on Tumbleweed as well.

Try to launch with --disable-gpu flag

Yep, first thing I tried, does resolve the issue.

Have you seen this section from 1.82 update post https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_82#_update-highlights-for-chromium ?
Can you check is you have same issue in logs and maybe workaround will help

I was hit by the same issue with vscode 1.83.1 on Debian Trixie after a system upgrade. rm -rf ~/.config/Code/GPUCache did the trick for me just as suggested by @IllusionMH's link.

Confirm, now work with the flag.

I had tried to reinstall 3 times from the official source and the error problem persisted, I was getting the idea of having to use the flatpak version to continue. Thanks for this solution, it would be useful for LInux users to have the option in the "Help" toolbar to reboot in this mode with just one button.

You are right, I updated the system and this problem occurred, however with the flag suggested by @IllusionMH it works fine.

[fmendezy]

Using the command: rm -rf "$HOME/.config/Code/GPUCache"
I was able to clear the GPU cache and now start "code" normally without having to use the --disable-gpu flag.

Indeed when updating OpenSUSE Tumbleweed something causes this problem, the good thing is that there is a solution.

Note: I am using only the integrated gpu of the processor (in case someone asks in the future).
