The latest version of Visual Studio Code will not run ("can't be opened" is the unhelpful error) when I copy it to the applications folder. It runs fine after unzipping to the Downloads folder, but just wont from the applications folder.
I don't think it's the security setting as that's already set to allow apps from anywhere.

I had this issue and I found a workaround, which may work for you...
This worked for me - I have no idea why, perhaps a bug to do with accessing the preference file(s)? Maybe this might work for you?
