Updates try to install new helper tools with no explanation #215461

Open spencer-nelson opened 5 months ago

spencer-nelson commented 5 months ago

Type: Bug

When I update VS Code it keeps telling me new helper tools will be installed with no further explanation. For security and compliance reasons that is unacceptable as I need to know what is being installed on my machine and how it might impact security and privacy. Further, I don't want to install just any old helper; I expect to know what I'm installing so I can judge the utility and impact of doing so.
