The problem is caused by macOS requiring apps to be notarized by Apple. The best way around this problem is to simply right-click on the app and select Open. If this doesnt work, first move the app to the Applications folder. Then open Terminal and paste and execute the following command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app
This should remove the quarantine on the app and allow you to run it.
