VScode suddenly stopped running code using ctrl+F5  
the usual graph appears but nothing happens:  
 ![vscode-run-not working](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/b/0/b06ec7f667406b40c3d028e0570f58abc1319f9c.png)  
then after I forcefully stop it, i get:  
 ![vscode-notrunning2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/4/1/419188f9b763fdcb42eec8c49060303521d8aacc.png)  
I still can run the code using “Julia:Execute active File in REPL”

sudo apt-get --purge remove code  
sudo dpkg -i …(earlier version)  
settings: update:mode = none  
everything works as usual.  
thanks
