If Update:Mode in VS Code's setting is on 'none' , 'Check for Updates ...' option will disappear from Help. Just be sure it's not on 'none' then you can check for updates.

r/vscode on Reddit: Can I update vscode from command line on windows?
October 26, 2023 -
Hi, I use vscode maybe once a month so every time I start it there is an update available. It would be nice to schedule an auto update in task scheduler instead so it would be up to date most of the time. Do you know how I can update it from the command line?

April 15, 2024 - As for Visual Studio Code, I just make it a practice of checking for updates once a week.
