VS Code won't open at all, no error

Click the icon, nothing happens. No window, no error message. Reinstalled it already and it's the same. Windows 10. Where would I even look for a log?

open Task Manager first, there's often a Code.exe process hanging in the background that stops a new window opening. end all of them and try again. still nothing? from a command prompt run code --disable-extensions. if that opens, an extension is the cause. code --disable-gpu is the other one to try, graphics driver issues cause exactly this silent no-show.
