Welcome page in Visual Studio Code How to get it
Visual Studio-CodeVisual Studio-Code Problem Overview
I just downloaded Visual Studio Code and started playing with it.
The you tube video here recommends Quick Tour Videos.
So the question is how can I see the welcome page on Visual Studio code. When ever I open now, I am not seeing it. Probably when you open for the first time, you are shown this. But once you close that how do I reopen it?
Visual Studio-Code Solutions
Solution 1 - Visual Studio-Code
You have to use the command palette (either press F1 or click View -> Command Palette...), then start typing Welcome and select Help: Welcome option.
Solution 2 - Visual Studio-Code
This can now (May 2017) be accessed via the standard menu: Help -> Welcome
Solution 3 - Visual Studio-Code
To show welcome page on startup: User Settings > Workbench > Startup Editor > Select 'welcomePage'
Solution 4 - Visual Studio-Code
It looks like the name of the welcome page got changed into "Get Started". To open the "Get Started" page:
Click in the menu:
> Help -> Get Started
Or type in the command palette:
> ">Get Started"

Solution 5 - Visual Studio-Code
It is not showing because you probably accidentally unchecked the 'Show welcome page on startup' checkbox on the bottom of the welcome page.
From the menu: Help -> Get Started.
From command palette: Get Started.
To show it automatically when opening a new window check the 'Show welcome page on startup' checkbox on the bottom of the page.
Solution 6 - Visual Studio-Code
Go to the 'Help' tab in the top menu and then select 'Welcome'. Look at the bottom of the page and click the checkbox below that says 'Show welcome page on startup'.
