Issue: VScode is always reverting to earlier version
Labels: bug,install-update


Type: <b>Bug</b>

Hello,

I have a similar issue like #113702, but on a ubuntu distribution and I cant get it to fix. 

# Problem:
Vscode is always reverting its version back to 1.90.2. When I do the update, I can open a vscode window or two in the right version, but after 10minutes or so, its back to version 1.90.2

# What I tried:
 - updating to different versions (1.94, 1.95,1.96)
- complete reinstall of vscode (I couldnt find it on the machine afterwards)

I did:
```
sudo apt-get purge code
rm -r $Home/.config/Code 
rm -r $Home/.vscode

```
The issue still persists. I dont know where else vscode files could be or what the issue would be releated to.
