Powershell issues when VSCode run as another user

[SilentlyContinue27]

Greetings,

I run VSCode as another user via “Run As Administrator” with my domain credentials. I’ve been noticing several issues with the PowerShell extension while doing this.

1: Run Selection does not work, either via F8 on the keyboard or right-click and “Run Selection.” Copy and paste code into the terminal works fine.

2:The VSCode log command requested for this post ( >PowerShell: Upload Bug Report To Github ) fails with VSCode popup error “Command ‘PowerShell: Upload Bug Report To Github’ resulted in an error (command ‘PowerShell.GenerateBugReport’ not found)

3: The troubleshooting code requested for this post:
[
& {"### VSCode version: $(code -v)"; "n### VSCode extensions:n$(code --list-extensions --show-versions | Out-String)"; "n### PSES version: $($pseditor.EditorServicesVersion)"; "n### PowerShell version:`n$($PSVersionTable | Out-String)"}
]
errors with the following PowerShell errors:
[

VSCode extensions:

nothing to see here, despite having the PowerShell extension V2020.6 installed…

PSES version:

PowerShell version:

PSVersion 5.1.18362.752
PSEdition Desktop
PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}

CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000
WSManStackVersion 3.0
PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3
SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1

]

All of the above function correctly when running VScode as my logged in user (Double-clicking VScode to start) rather than as another user (Right Click > Run As Admin).
I’ve been able to produce this on both of my workstations using the same versioning below. I’m curious if I have managed to mess something up or if anyone else can reproduce the issue.
Unfortunately, I am unable to attach a log due to issue 2 above. I would be happy to send logs if anyone can help me do so.

When you say code version 1.4.7.2, do you mean 1.47.2? I believe this is the issue seen here: #2808 and will be resolved in code 1.47.3.

@corbob, yes 1.47.2 (Corrected in op). #2808 does sound like this issue. I will close this for now and monitor that. Thanks!
