Help Needed: File Association Error (Code: VSC-006)

I hope you're all doing well. I'm running into a bit of a snag with my ThinkPad L14 Gen 3 laptop [ https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/ ] and Visual Studio Code. I'm encountering a "File Association Error" with the error code "VSC-006" and could use some community wisdom to help resolve it.

Problem Description: Whenever I try to open certain files in Visual Studio Code, I'm hit with a "File Association Error (Code: VSC-006)." This error is preventing me from seamlessly working on my projects.

Symptoms: The error message appears when attempting to open specific file types. Other files open without issue. I've checked default file associations on my laptop, and they seem correct.

Your help would make a significant difference in getting back to smooth coding. Thanks in advance for your expertise!
