VS Code File change indicator

Question

Not sure when it stopped but VS Code is not displaying little red circle on file explorer icon when you change files.

Can you please help? I re-installed VS code but didnt help.

No indicator

You must have the Auto Save feature enabled, if enabled then every change will be saved after a delay hence no need to display an indicator.

You can disable the Auto Save feature by unticking File \ Auto Save.
