When I have two instances open it didn't ask to choose any one in Ubuntu 18.04
When I open more than one instance of any app. like files or vscode (Visual Studio Code). Then I open another app. When I want to go back on vscode, It opens my last opened app's instance. I think it should ask me to choose which instance I want to open. I have checked settings also, but I didn't get any option to fix this issue.
Can anyone help me to fixed this issue ?

I'm a little uncertain as to what you mean by "go back on..." are youalt+tabbing? If so I think this is expected behaviour as it doesn't see them as "two separate instances" but more "two separate programs" and just as when youalt+tabregularly it doesn't ask "which program do you want to go to?" It just goes to the most recently used one. In any event you may file a feature request, or better patch this yourself.

Without getting into the lengthy discussion of what exactly went wrong, but I have feeling that is related with the GNOME Shell, which is the default Ubuntu desktop. I don't use Ubuntu Official just because of that. My suggestion is you do the same. As alternative,
Use Ubuntu Mate, for all sorts of reasons, unless you are religiously attached to Ubuntu Official/GNOME Shell.
Not the answer you were looking for, but you will love Ubuntu Mate.
You can install MATE DE along with current installed DE with
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-mate-desktop
and compare your experience in it with any previous.
