GitHub Copilot does not work after latest vscode update

Question

GitHub Copilot stopped working after it asked to restart vscode for the last update I installed, right now it doesn't even show the icon and there are no suggestions either, it's as if it wasn't installed.

I unistalled everything, even the vscode itself, deleting all the files and configuringicon in case there was a conflict or error, but the extension still does not work.

If anyone knows how to fix it or what is causing the error, I would be very grateful.

Answer 1

Rolling back to the previous version (1.63.7601) fixed it for me.

• Click on extensions icon on left menu bar
• Search for Copilot
• Click the settings cog > Install another version
• Select 1.63.7601
• Reload VSCode

Edit 4/10/2023: The specific version listed above was the most recent working version at time of posting. Rolling back to any recent version should fix this issue if a new version of Copilot breaks again.
