If you run the exe you get asked if you want to continue because there’s already content in the folder. But I clicked continue and I still see things as they were. Extensions, settings, history… I haven’t noticed anything weird.

I’ve been trying to fix this issue for some time. I was finally able to make it work by using the vscodium’s EXE installer instead of the MSI.
