This is directed to the product group at Microsoft that owns VSCode.

On my work PC, I need to elevate to admin every time there is a VSCode update. I didn’t mind this when the updates were sporadic but it’s getting to the point where I’m having to do this 1-2 times a week and it’s getting quite tedious; especially so when the updates contain fewer and fewer enhancements. I understand the need to enhance AI tooling but there has to be a better way without making the stable branch feel like the insiders branch.

I have raised as an issue on GitHub but there are 17,400 open issues on the VSCode repo so want to make sure the team get this feedback.
