After an update today the screen wouldn't render properly.
Found the following article on stack overflow: https://www.reddit.com/r/Crostini/comments/171r6bv/visual_code_studio_screen_just_black/
Suggests launching with code --disable-gpu
which seems to have done the job.
I also updated the core.desktop
file under /usr/share/applications
so the launch icon works as expected
