Hi Alexander,
Sorry, I've missed this issue :(
Could you try our new portable installer? We have not released it with IDE yet: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/installation.html#local-download-mac-linux-windows
So, please download this file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/platformio/platformio-core-installer/master/get-platformio.py and save under get-platformio.py.
Open system cmd.exe terminal and type python get-platformio.py --verbose.
Do you see any errors? Please provide an output.

```
This is the output of the installation script. It worked fine
Great! We are going to integrate a new installer into VSCode next week.
Does VSCode work now?
Unfortunately not...

These are my Settings of IDE. are these correct?
Your settings are correct. Do you see Home icon on the bottom of toolbar?
Ah i need to do a little workaround but it worked now
you need to set "platformio-ide.activateOnlyOnPlatformIOProject" to false to see it everytime

Thank you very much!!
Ahhhh! Not I understand. Another option was to open the PlatformIO Project.
We would be thankful if you update your review here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=platformio.platformio-ide&ssr=false#review-details
We are an open-source project and the whole of our work is free. These places like Microsoft Marketplace help us to find new users. Thanks!
