VS Code crashes when trying to open "as administrator"

[m-e-conroy]

Type: Bug

Just upgraded to 1.79.2 and now VS Code won't open under administrative privileges. I keep getting a failed to open window message with 2 buttons to "open a new window" and to "close." Both do the same thing, which is just close VS Code - no new window opens when using the first button. I need to be able to do this in order to use the NodeJS in the terminal on my work machine. VS Code opens fine when not using "open as administrator."

VS Code version: Code 1.79.2 (695af097c7bd098fbf017ce3ac85e09bbc5dda06, 2023-06-14T08:57:04.379Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042 Modes:

Get this message every time I try to open as an administrator, both buttons just close the dialog and the window.
