This issue has been happening for a long time. I’ve had to update but the update failed again and again.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click the gear icon at the bottom left
2.Click «Restart to update. »
3.VSCode closes itself, and the small window with text «Updating VS Code» appears
4.Following prompt appears
Once I click «确定»(OK), after a short while, this prompt appears.

I had a similar issue. The reason is because the installer thinks your code.exe is installed in
«C:\Users \AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe» but mine was installed in C:\VisualStudioCode\Code.exe
So I had to update all my registry entries that pointed to the wrong location to fix this.
Is there an easier way to set the install location for code.exe so the updater knows where to look?

@SE2017-Hugh Please change the setting «update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates»: false to disable background updates. You’ll still have updates, just not running in the background.
You can’t perform that action at this time.

Failed to install VS Code update. Please download and reinstall VS Code. os error 145 #47778
Comments
jwin742 commented Apr 12, 2018
I manually initiated an update to the latest version of VS code using the cog wheel menu.
It started using the new background updater and seemed to work fine.
I clicked on the prompt to restart VS Code
I received an error Saying «Failed to install VS Code update. Please download and reinstall VS Code.»
I clicked through the error and the vs code icon on my task bar was now the broken image icon
I clicked on the icon and I got the Windows error saying the program was no longer there and it seemed like vs code was essentially uninstalled.
Reinstalling from the website worked fine.
Note that I’m submitting this issue using the latest downloaded version from the website so the error would have occurred on 1.22.1 or 1.22.0

[SOLVED] Failed to install this extension vscode issue
Cannot install any extensions on VSCode? Did you try to uninstall and re-install VSCode? Failed to install Download Manually? That’s OK. I’ve been watching a React Course on Frontend Masters, and the instructor – Brian Holt – was talking about Prettier and how important it is (and he’s right!), but when I tried to install the Prettier – Code Formatter VSCode Extension, I got the “Failed to install this extension” vscode error message 👇
Also, you might see an Offline VSCode Marketplace or VSCode Extensions’ information not loading like this 👇
If you are reading this, you come to the right place to help you fix this problem.
How to fix: Failed to install this extension vscode issue?
The solution below is TESTED and it is WORKING 💯👌
Finally, I will continue watching that React Course and use Prettier. However, if someone is interested, I can write an article on Why to use it, and How to configure Prettier on VSCode! 😉
