I tried googling but a whole page of script pops up of which i know nothing

Answer 1

I can't exactly know what the issue was since I can't tell if you were making something before-hand or if you just installed but I'll give you a few helpful tips

1: If you were working on a web app, you need to enable CSS & Javascript sourcemaps in whatever browser you are using. There are many tutorials to teach you how to do this.

2: If VSCode gives you the error but still opens, try to open a folder or a workspace file, as this link says that opening a workspace should fix the issue.

3: If you just installed VSCode, uninstall it and try again. It's more than likely that VSCode didn't install correctly or are missing dependencies.

If none of those work, please give more detail about the issue. The link you provided doesn't load properly, and I can't tell what you were doing beforehand that could have possibly caused this issue
