application is slow to start - even with extensions disabled, extensions take the most loading time #154831

aaronpkelly · 2022-07-11T17:03:13Z

Issue Type: Performance Issue

Install a lot of extenions
Disable all of them using Extensions -> "Disable All Installed Extensions"
Restart VS Code with all Extensions disabled
The Startup Performance report still gives the "extensions registered" stage a very high mark (in my case it's 9039ms, the the highest out of all stages!). I expect that this should not be the case, because extensions should be disabled

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.69.0. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

I upgraded, restarted a couple of times, and then re-ran the performance report

The "extensions registered" stage is actually worse at 12370ms now, and it's still the highest item

Here's the updated details:

The Startup Performance report still gives the "extensions registered" stage a very high mark (in my case it's 9039ms,

Please share the startup performance report here

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's missing some basic information or in some other way doesn't follow our issue reporting guidelines. Please take the time to review these and update the issue.

Happy Coding!

@jrieken ok I need to regenerate this report today for you. So I disabled all my extensions, closed the application, started it, and generated the Startup Performance report just now:

Thanks. In your case it takes very long to start and initialise processes, e.g app ready takes very long, getting the renderer up takes super long etc

jrieken · 2022-07-13T07:11:24Z

Marking as /duplicate of #22087. You can try to configure your AV software as well, they are often the culprit of delayed process launchnig

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate. You can search for similar existing issues. See also our issue reporting guidelines.
