Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• VS Code Update install fail (#48000)
• Updating VS Code should check for updates first. (#44685)

Is similar to #48000 but not the same generated log file. Also, #48000 is already closed... and obviously this is still happening.

Exact same thing for me.
