Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

- VS Code Version: 1.137.0
- OS Version: macOS Tahoe 26.6.2

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy DMG-installer via Intune/JAMF to managed Mac-device.
2. When Microsoft releases new software update to Visual Studio Code, trigger Visual Studio Code to check updates.
3. User will get this prompt (see screenshot from attachment).

Image

Looks like DMG-installer deployment via Intune/JAMF to managed devices configures wrong permissions to the application, that causes prompt of the helper tool.
