Github Desktop cannot detect VSCode Version 1.26.1 on Windows 8
See original GitHub issueOn previous versions of VSCode, Github Desktop was able to open the project folders.
However, with the recent update, I uninstalled the previous version of VSCode and installed the recommended VSCode version 1.26.1.
However, On using Control+Shift+A I get the following error
Unable to open external Editor
No suitable editors installed for Github Desktop to launch. Install Atom for your platform and restart Github Desktop to try again.

Is there a certain conflict when I uninstalled my older version of VSCode and installed the newer version?
-
Or is this a bug?

@coder137 thanks for the report! This is because the default VS install now doesn’t require elevation, so it is now located at a different location in the registry that Desktop isn’t aware of.
We have an earlier issue tracking this #5281 and also a PR open #5420 which will go out with the next update (
1.3.4) so keep an eye out for that.@shiftkey Just checked it out. Everything works very smoothly. Thank you very much for your quick response and bug fix. 😃
