Vim mode simply does not work (VSCode 1.20.1)

[sandman21dan]

BUG REPORT:

Vim mode seems to not get activated

What happened:
Vim mode does not get activated

What did you expect to happen:
Vim to start in normal mode

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Simply using the windows version of VScode 1.20.1 and Vim mode 0.11.0

Are there any known compatibility issues?

Tried disabling many other extensions (First time I noticed Vim not working anymore was after installing the flutter extension)

Environment:
Windows

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version:
• VSCode version: 0.11.0
• OS version: Windows 10

Same thing for me on Windows 10 after updating to 1.20.1. Tried reinstalling the addon, didnt help.

Sounds like a dupe of https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues/2226. If this is the issue, please report back to VSCode and update https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/40260.

Solution in #2266 worked for me as well, just in case your wondering on Windows the .vscode folders sits on your username folder, i.e. C:\Windows\Users\user_name.vscode\extensions
