I have VS Code version 1.37.1 and I want to update to the current available version 1.43. My OS is Windows 10.

How can I update the current version to the latest?. Like in Eclipse, check for updates is not updating the installation, rather it gives me a zip.

VS Code will automatically update itself on windows 10. If you'd like to force an update check there's an option available for that under 'Help > Check for Updates'.

VS Code Help>Update

If the update still doesn't complete, you can run the installer from here as described in the official Visual Studio Code Documentation under Docs » Supporting » Howtoupdate, found here.
