Visual Studio Code opens after it installs (with proposed fix)

[olavrb]

After Visual Studio Code installs, it opens. It shouldn't be like that if it's possible to avoid it with install switches IMO.

Proposed fix:

• Add /MERGETASKS=!runcode to install parameters.

Log of install from today, showing that current install command does not have this in it:

Coming in to +1 and ressurect this subject. Can we please implement the extra command line so it no longer opens? I can confirm the command works fine in my environment. It would be nice to no longer have VSC open automatically on updates.

Thank you for the tip! Will make sure to add this with the next update of Patch My PC soon!
