TL;DR; You can press Ctrl + K , S to save all open files with a little caveat associated with it.
Details: Please be careful about keyboard shortcut combination shown in any menu description. There is a little caveat about it. The combination Ctrl + K S shown as menu description text gives an impression that we have to press Ctrl key, keep the Ctrl key pressed and then press the keys K and S one by one in quick succession. This is not the case.
After having pressed Ctrl + K combination, you need to release both Ctrl and K keys and then press S key separately.
For cases where Ctrl key has to be kept pressed continuously, you'll notice that modifier keys will appear twice in the menu description text. For example, to open a new folder, the menu item's text shows Ctrl + K Ctrl + O. In this case Ctrl modifier key is present twice as shown in the screenshot below:

For windows user - Visual Studio Code has Ctrl + K , S

- Press S key.
This will Save all modified files in one go. Release is the main point as new user press S key with Ctrl key which opens key board shortcuts file.

For Windows users, the key shortcut is displayed as the 11th option in the "File" menu as:
Save All Ctrl + K S
The key shortcut displayed equates to the following:
Press Ctrl + k
Release the Ctrl and k keys.
Notice the bottom of your window will display a message asking for a second key like this:
- Press s.
This applies to other "Close Workspace" command that can be found in the "File" menu (instead of pressing s, you press f).

This keybindings.json switches the Save All and Save shortcuts so that Cmd+S is bound to Save All:
[
{
"key": "alt+cmd+s",
"command": "workbench.action.files.save"
},
{
"key": "cmd+s",
"command": "-workbench.action.files.save"
},
{
"key": "cmd+s",
"command": "workbench.action.files.saveAll"
},
{
"key": "alt+cmd+s",
"command": "-workbench.action.files.saveAll"
}
]

I'm a jack of all trades developer, using lots of different tools and operating systems. I'm always nervous about blindly using keystrokes. I much prefer to use a simple "save all" button.
If you add "Open Editors" in your VS Code Explorer window, that selection includes a very handy "Save All" icon. Click the icon, and you are done.
No custom keystrokes required. No preferences to edit.

To save all the files in VSCode(Windows),
Press Ctrl+K then Press the S.
All files will be saved.
To find other keyboard shortcuts or to change a shortcut,
Go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts OR Press Ctrl+K+S
Select a keyboard shortcut and press Enter to update/change a keybinding
