Visual Studio Code for Windows

Microsoft

What Visual Studio Code does.

Modern code and text editor with extensions, Git integration and debugging. It is suitable for writing and editing plain text, notes, configuration files, scripts or source code. It supports development, automation or administration workflows and is suitable for technical users who need reproducible tools on a fresh Windows environment.

How the installation route works.

InstallHub can start the exact Windows Package Manager package Microsoft.VisualStudioCode. You initiate the action, and the normal installer and Windows elevation prompts remain visible.

InstallHub does not replace the publisher’s installer.

You still review the publisher’s licence, component choices, system requirements and any available free, trial or paid edition.

Check the route, then make the decision.

01

Confirm the publisher

Check that Microsoft is the publisher you expect.

02

Review the edition

Compare free, trial and paid choices when the publisher offers them.

03

Read the installer

Keep Windows prompts and setup options visible before approving changes.
