in my company laptop they did a central update on the vscode version and from one day to the other my code does not even start. (by company laptop means I don't really have admin access and can only try a few things to debug this)
I wanted to know how can I debug this because maybe is some additional plugin or something I might have that might be causing this problem. It seems is not affecting other users so they don't really know what much can be.
anyway this is the stacktrace when I launch it, either from terminal or from the launcher.

Any idea what I might try? it's probably some configuration issue on my side. I believe this to be the version of the latest update: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_49
I'm now trying to run a portable version of vscode without plugins to try and figure out what the problem is, if interesting this are the extensions I've found in my user profile folder:
