VSCode sluggish on Windows 11

[kishore881]

Issue Type: Performance Issue

VSCode startup is slower and the editor is laggy in all the actions even with all the extensions disabled. The issues arose only after upgrading to windows 11 from 10. Every action including mouse click, hover, keypress, all have a bit of lag and all these issues are happening only on VSCode, the rest of Windows is pretty responsive.

VS Code version: Code 1.62.3 (ccbaa2d27e38e5afa3e5c21c1c7bef4657064247, 2021-11-17T08:11:14.551Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000 Restricted Mode: No

Does the Start Extension Bisect command help you identify an extension causing the problem?

[kishore881]

Nope. Issues still persist even with all extensions disabled. It might be something with vscode itself.

Can you try to reproduce with our nightly insider builds? You can give our preview releases a try from: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

If the issue persists with insiders, please attach the perf profiles following the steps at

https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Performance-Issues#visual-studio-code-is-sluggish https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Performance-Issues#visual-studio-code-starts-up-slowly

[kishore881]

The issue seemed to be resolved after a couple of days and then recently after updating vscode (don't remember the exact version info) it became sluggish for some time but at the time of writing this, things are working fine. I will try the insider builds too if the issue occurs again.
