title: VS Code connect ENOENT error MacOS
body: <p>A previously stable <code>VS Code</code> install is now broken. Whenever I click on the 'Extensions' icon, I get this error message, and no extensions are listed.</p>
  
  <pre><code>connect ENOENT /var/folders/my/t5b899fn0_s4tx5_tndwnvh00000gp/C/Code-1.16.1-shared.sock
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My system:</p>
  
  <pre><code>MacOS 10.12.6
  VS Code - latest
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Reinstalling the app does not help. I removed the app bundle, the <code>~.vscode</code> directory and the <code>/Users/gillespy/Library/Application\ Support/Code</code> directory.</p>
  
  <p>I have 2 VPN services installed: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>TunnelBear </li>
  <li>F5 SSL VPN Plugin (a VPN service for my university, which
  I need)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>VS Code worked fine with TunnelBear, but not after the F5 plugin was installed (maybe a coincidence). Neither VPN is active when I open VS Code.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas appreciated!</p>
