For some reason you may need to disable Visual Studio Code’s hardware acceleration. For example in Ubuntu it’s slow.
!Backup! Before you do anything backup the settings.
cp $HOME/.vscode/argv.json $HOME/.vscode/argv.json.backupCTRL+SHIFT+P and type runtime you should see this kind of option.

… or you can edit $HOME/.vscode/argv.json file. (Linux) that line is commented.
When I uncommented it Visual Studio Code started crashing without an error right after showing the loaded project.
After you make the changes restart Visual Studio Code.
Additional Tips
Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Visual Studio Code. Sometimes, updates contain performance improvements and bug fixes that could resolve issues without disabling hardware acceleration.
Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can cause performance issues with hardware acceleration.
Conclusion
Disabling hardware acceleration in Visual Studio Code can help improve performance on systems where it causes issues. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily disable this feature through settings, the command palette, or directly editing the argv.json file. Always remember to back up your configuration files before making changes to avoid potential problems.
