title: Visual Studio Code: Another instance of Code is running but not responding
body: <p>Can't run Visual Studio Code (Windows). This happend a few times now.</p>
  <p>I suddenly can't save files while coding and VS Code hanging. When stopping the task by Task Manager</p>

  <p>and start VS Code again I get the message:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Another instance of Code is running but not responding. Please close all other instances and try again.</p>

  <p>But there is no VS Code Window open. Instead the Task Manager shows more running instances:</p>

  <p>Restarting windows helps but is really annoying. Has anyone else this problem and/or an idea to fix this issue?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
