Github Copilot not working. Console "Output" window is empty

Question

I have searched across Github issues and stack overflow, and whenever someone fails to get copilot to work (not suggesting anything) everyone tells you to update vscode, the extension, and open View > Output.

Well I have both vscode and copilot updated to the latest version, as well as being authenticated on Github. When I open Output, I can see the logs of every extension except Copilot. This is where I am stuck because I didn't read anyone mentioning what to do when there is NO output.

Answer 1

Had the same problem. Went nuclear and performed a complete uninstall of VS Code. I also backed up my extensions and setting files before uninstalling. After I reinstalled VS Code and connected to Github Copilot, the AI started to work.
