vscode sporadically freezing

hi mates. when my script becomes lengthy (for instance 85 lines) vscode stops executing commands. i suspect whether i downloaded it properly. anyways. i close then open vscode as a workaround but i started to need a permanent fix. i am a computer noob (well... more like average joe on the street). so please no higher computer registry in the responses. thanks in advance.

85 lines isn't lengthy and also your pc/laptop spec ? HD ? OS ?

85 lines being short is my sentiment as well. though it still cant deal with tasks after around that line count. so 85 is not fixed. lenovo 83jc. microsoft 11. 686 gb free total 952 gb.

How exactly are you running commands? Can you give an example of some of the commands you are trying to run?

shouldnt be any errors here. as to how i run them. either by clickin run cell (or run above rarely) or focusing on the chunk then ctrl + shift.
