This isn't a request for recommendations on how to set this all up, that ship has sailed and all a learning process to be improved on. So what I'm asking is if there is a way to guarantee VSCode program files and appdata content so I can plug in the USB for the meeting and double check/setup the settings so nothing gets mucked up from my PC's setup for the software.

I feel like its set up as it should be but with the way windows just face fucks every sti (sextually transmited integrationfeature) it has into everything it touches, I would feel more confident testing on an environment without VSC installed. It isn't important to anything I'm doing in that I'm not running any code or demonstrating any scripts its just the platform I used for creating a project outline and a universal launcher or interface for the content of the project. (again, I can do a whole other post for people who want to tell me all the ways I should've done this better. I acknowledge I'm n00b as fuck. Just hoping for a brief insight and will decide whether or not it'd be worth doing based on doability difficulty and time to setup.

goal of ask: not fuck up the settings for my desktop while launching vsc from USB to test that vsc and related content doesn't import or use my desktop vsc's files for profile/settings/config/etc ALL WHILE also avoiding the asklemmy scenario where we go through the who setup step by step for how to fix my current setup. That scenario will be c9ming Wednesday or later depending on your local theater show times.

edit: The root cause of this post is that I have a reoccurring problem everytime I'm asked anything to the sentiment of do you want to do xyz to your user profile or to all users using all files globally on every planet... if you can't tell I panic and usually click randomly. The metaphoric version of my problem would go something like:

"Do you want to take this medication orally or as a suppository?" but never remembering which I chose or why there is a pill in my pee hole.

yes, VSCode already has a portable mode if you download the archive instead of the installer on Windows/package on Linux.
