Same for me

danielvy commented 6 years ago

Have a similar issue. Macbook Pro running MacOS 10.13.x , this started around VSCode 1.18 (not 100% sure exactly when but definitely 1.19 had this problem).

After a some time running VSCode, Code Helper process is reaching ~100% CPU, closing VSCode doesn't terminate this process and reopening starts a new "Code Helper" process.

+1 on this. Can someone explain what Code Helper does ?
