Windows 10: document how to solve issue with VSCode not getting to the foreground

[bpasero]

We have a famous issue (microsoft/vscode#929) caused by Electron where opening VS Code does not bring it to the foreground but rather stays in the background with the taskbar blinking.

Now I heard of a workaround that fixes this issue provided the user has access to the windows registry:

• regedit.exe
• find ForegroundLockTimeout
• change its value to a low millisecond value (e.g. 10 (decimal))
• restart windows

The related documentation: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc957208.aspx

It is ugly but a viable option for those that really want this.

Closing as I think this was fixed with a product PR (see microsoft/vscode#929) and this FAQ is no longer needed.
