My menus were still there, but can not be seen since the text and background colors were the same. alt + f for instance shows the File menu fine.

To make these menus visible again I had to install gnome tweaks and under Apprearance > Themes > Applications choose Yaru-dark.

To restore the menu bar press F1 in VSCode and trigger the View: Toggle Menu Bar command in the command palette. (Simple start typing toggle menu .. after pressing F1 then press Enter when you will see View: Toggle Menu Bar.)

Then you will see Windows 10 top menu like:
