Problem with updating Extension

[gep13]

I have just tried to update an installed extension, but the process seemed to hang.

I eventually decided to restart VS Code, and when I did, the extension in question was no longer installed. I attempted to install it again, but the process never seemed to complete. I did this a few times, each time opening/closing VS Code, and eventually, on I think the fourth attempt, the extension correctly installed.

Is this a known issue? Are there any logs that I can provide to help identify the problem?

Which extension, what platform you are running on would probably help address your issue

Ah, good point 👍

Running on Windows 8.1, and was trying to update this extension:

I had the same problem on Windows 8.1.

I checked the extensions folder after the first crash and I noticed the folder for the extension only had the icon file. I was trying to update this extension: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/akamud.vscode-caniuse

I've also seen failures to download all of the files for the extension during updates on Windows 10 several times. I have not seen these failures on OS X.
