VSCode Crashes and Code got deleted

[yeehao34]

Type: Performance Issue

Not sure how to reproduce. But the issue happens when I editing the file and the auto-completion feature is getting very slow and moving my cursor around is also very laggy. Then afterwards, it got crashed and a lot of my codes in that particular file got deleted, and totally cant recover or undo it back.

Windows Prompt I got during crash

[deepak1556]

Can you attach the crash dumps following the steps at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report

it got crashed and a lot of my codes in that particular file got deleted, and totally cant recover or undo it back.

Are you also unable to restore from local history Local History: Find history to Restore ?

[deepak1556]

Also does the crash happen when you run with --disable-extensions ?

Hi, I cant replicate this issue anymore. And I also cant find any history of the file after following the way mentioned in https://superuser.com/questions/1569814/how-to-recover-unsaved-file-within-visual-studio-code.
