6 years ago Sorry for the delay. This doesn't look to be VSCode or CMake Tools related. It's probable that your Windows simply needed to be restarted for the VS installation to be visible to other tools. Glad to hear that its working!
Brief Issue Summary
Visual Studio 2017 not found by Cmake. Visual Studio 2015 was uninstalled before installing Visual Studio Professional 2017 (with C++ development & cmake files selected!). Afterwards I got the message "couldn't find any instance of Visual Studio"
Apparent Behavior:
$ cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DCMAKE_MODULE_PATH=../devenv/modules ../devenv CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (project): Generator
could not find any instance of Visual Studio.

Other Notes/Information
Solution given in https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe/issues/2945 did not work for me as C++ development & cmake files were selected during installation! Also reinstalling Cmake did not work.
