Running Save Participants runs forever on File Save

Question

Unfortunately I am not sure how to debug or even begin to debug this error. If someone can help me out it would be a huge help. I wish I could provide more info but essentially when I try to save a file, this comes up and it does not go away and runs forever. It prevents me from saving any file.

Things I have tried. 1. Restarting VS Code 2. Rebooting computer 3. Disabling all VS Code Extensions. 4. Updating VS Code and running as Administrator.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

In my VS Code, it's an issue that comes from an installed Extension.

How to find an extension did not work?

Open the Command Palette (macOS: CmdShiftP or Windows: CtrlShiftP), then type Show Running Extensions and enter.

If you have any Inactivation extension showed up here, reinstall or uninstall it will solve VSCode's slow issue.

Answer 2

I don't know if this'll help you but I also just recently encounter this issue. And this is how I fix it:

1. Close all tabs in vscode (try to revert any changes if possible).
2. Close vscode itself and open it again.
3. When you open vscode try to notice the initializing part at the bottom left, wait until it's done initializing.

4. Now, try to edit any file and save it.
