VSCode Patch breaks existing installation

    Hi everyone,

    we are currently experiencing a problem with updates of VSCode installed by Patch Management.
    It seems that something in the update behavior was changed by Microsoft recently.
    Earlier it was possible to install the VSCode update silent while having it open (afterwards are reboot was required).
    Now the installation of the updates fails if VSCode is open during the installation:

    The bad thing about this is, the installation is broken after the patch install failed:

    To fix this, the computer must be restarted and the patch must be installed again.

    Anyone else having the same problem?
    Best Regards
