• OS Version:
  OSX 10.11.5

Steps to Reproduce:

1. install vscode-icons
2. >icons Enable
3. you can see the following a message

Run VS Code with admin privileges so the changes can be applied.

I've been able to enable vscode-icons until I updated vscode-insider today.
In addition, I can enable vscode-icons with vscode(1.3.0)

the version of vscode-icons is 1.3.12.
Is this an issue for vscode-icons?

I am very sorry to hear you are having issues with VS Code. Reading your description it seems that the issue originates from an extension and not VS Code itself. Thereby I will close this issue and kindly ask you to report this issue against the extension repository.

Most extensions are on GitHub as well so it should be easy to file it against the extension. If you open an extension on the market place, click on the Support link to find out more.

Thanks again for your feedback!

I'm still having the same issue with vscode-icons at version 1.4.3, latest VSCode.
