Issue in Visual Studio Code editor. Why are files closing when I save them?

Why are files closing when I save them?

---

When ever I create a new file, add a couple lines of code to the file, and attempt to save my work, the file immediately closes, right when I initiate the save. Furthermore, the file that closes is not appearing in the "Open recent" file list that's located in the file menu.

Edit : The file immediately closes after I save as it, because when I click "run Python File", It open File Explorer tab

Does anyone know if this is a known issue, or if I can solve this problem by reconfiguring a 'VS Code' setting?

Use Directories to Save Files

It is better to open directories in VS Code, than it is to open a single file without a parent directory.

File > Open Folder or Ctrl+K Ctrl+O

The folder that opens, using the keybinding above, can be used to save all the files you want.

Using the Open Recent File-list:

After opening Code, the last project (or folder) will already be open. If not, just go to

If not, you should be able to just go to

File > Open Recent > "Folder/Project Name"

If you use Windows, with the right button on the folder you can click on "open with code", it will open the folder directly in Code

TIP: "You can turn on auto-save — using File > Auto Save — to save time"
