Visual Studio Code - Extensions Fail to Install, Says "Installing" then gets stuck

Just downloaded Nov version 1.8.1, Windows 10 VS Code. Opens up fine. I try installing any Extension, it just hangs, says Installing. Never installs any extensions.

I tried making the .vsix path readable, i tried version 1.7, I tried uninstalling, re-installing. I tried adding the core, removing the core, the SDK, removing the SDK, I tried running as Admin. Nothing worked.
