Somehow My visual studio code froze when It was idle for some time and I was using my Injellij application. 1. When I found, I tried quitting the application by doing **right +click** on visual studio code icon and **quit**- **nothing happened**. 2. Then I tried **force quit -still nothing happened**. 3. opened activity monitor-saw electron(not responding)- tried quit and force quit- still nothing. 4. then tried everything from this post https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/291328/how-to-killall-visual-studio-code-in-terminal?newreg=e161c24c4c714106838b9795514c23b9 - still nothing. Also in taskbar, the vscode icon is not present but if I try to relaunch, I get an error message saying
***"Another instance of Code is running but not responding Please close all other instances and try again."***
I am not sure what actually happened but if someone can help me to trace this and fix without restarting my system . I would also be happy if someone can help me find error logs for vscode or macos to investigate what actually happened. below are app and system information. **visual studio code**
package name: VSCode-darwin-universal.zip
version : 1.57.1 **system**
mac Os catalina
version 10.15.7
