"code ." command is not working

I get this error:

code . is not recognised as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file

moreover shell commands are not coming in my compiler VS code neither do setx path "%path%;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code" is working in command prompt .

For Windows OS

For Windows, you'll need to re-install code. You can download the latest version and just install it overtop of your existing install.

During setup, make sure to check the box to Add to PATH
