ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir

[glha]

I'm getting this message every time I open VSCode and below is the relevant excerpt from Developer Tools, inside VSCode itself.

ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir onDidChangeNotification @ workbench.desktop.main.js:sourcemap:3183

Searching the web with this message, permissions issues are the most common results, but the installation is inside my profile, as all config files (%USERPROFILE%/.vscode). Nonetheless, I did assure all files and dirs are writable by my user.

Some info that may be relevant:

• VSCode installation is the portable official one
• I run VSCode behind a proxy, in a restricted environment, so I must download almost everything elsewhere and sideload into this environment

If needed, I can test or provide more info.
