Ummm... Your environment is the same as me. Try reinstall a extension or clone this repository and debug it

Problem (in my case): Extension node_modules weren't being installed.

Bigger Problem: VS Code has become disconnected from your extensions living at %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\. So uninstalling and reinstalling the extension won't even work.

Solution: Uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio Code (don't worry, all of your settings and extensions will persist).

I was as well running into this problem even after I uninstalled, reloaded, and then reinstalled the extension.

So I cracked open the Dev Console to see if VS Code was throwing anything and sure enough ts.console was logging Error: Cannot find module 'sync-exec' when trying to load up the SVG Viewer.

Looking in the extensions node_modules %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\cssho.vscode-svgviewer-1.4.4\node_modules it was completely empty despite having just been reinstalled.

So I uninstalled the extension once more, but noticed that the %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\cssho.vscode-svgviewer-1.4.4 was still there. I figured this meant that VS Code was disconnected from its extensions path. So I uninstalled and reinstalled VS Code; then uninstalled, reloaded, and reinstalled SVG View. Checked the extension folder again and everything was populated correctly. Working now.
