1 CPU: Visual Studio Code 100% CPU and System freeze on startup win 7 64 bit #34396

Description

@ParikshitBhagawati

I have a windows 7 64bit PC running on an AMD processor with on board NVIDIA graphics chipset and 8 gb of RAM. I have tried various versions of vs code but the result is the same. It freezes the system for about 2 minutes until it opens it with a 100% CPU usage.

I have also tried different options like disable GPU and running without extentions etc. but all in vain.

I have an older laptop with 1gig RAM and windows 7 32 bit where vs code 1.1 runs without any of the above issues smoothly.

Can you please help ?
