Where do the configuration settings live in VSCode?

I am learning python and want to edit the configuration files of VSCode to toggle the selected theme, but I can't find the file controlling the configuration settings. The below file-path is where I've narrowed it down to so far:

C:\Users\<Name>\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code

I've also come across this thread from 2016 https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10046 Which pointed me here, though I'm still sifting through the thread https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3884#issuecomment-230912738

This thread is from 2016, and the old and new versions they mention are not up to date.

Old Settings: %APPDATA%\Code[ - Variant]\User\settings.json

New Settings: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\[Visual Studio ]Code[ - Variant]\settings.json
