Install vscode for all users

I updated to the version here where it installs it per user instead of all.

How do I install for all users instead? Do I need to install for each user now?

The current download page has a Windows icon that downloads the AMD64 user installer. You don't get an option to select the user or system installer. Interestingly, below the Windows icon there are links to multiple ARM64 installers, including the ARM64 system installer, but you don't want that one.

The link to download the AMD64 system installer file is here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=852157. This link is on the VS Code installation & setup page in the 'User setup versus system setup' section: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/windows.

HTH!

Applications that are global are stored in /Applications directory as opposed user specific installation that are installed under Applications under the user home directory. So moving the installed folder to /Applications directory might work.

Look for the system installer instead of the user setup installer. The system installer will give you the option to: 1. Install for all users 2. Choose a directory.

Download here (oficial page): https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Can't find it? The system installer is below the big blue button to download. You'll see 3 options. The middle option will say system installer.
