Arduino Board Manager not opening without Arduino IDE installed #484

When following the getstarted guide, step #6, VSCode can cycle back to the Settings page instead of displaying the Arduino Board Manager menu. Installing the Arduino IDE established the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino which fixed the issue.
