My VS Code used to automatically close the welcome screen after opening a folder or workspace. After upgrading to the latest version, it no longer closes it and the welcome screen stays open.
I'm not sure what version I was using before upgrade but I think there's a setting somewhere to control this behavior.
Does anyone know where I can change this setting so that welcome screen automatically opens when I start VS Code but auto-closes after opening a folder or workspace.
Yes. There s a way.
Open VS Code and move to the settings page.
File Menu/Preferences/Settings
And then type welcome to search option key. After that you could see select option for welcome page when IDE loads.
Now choose your favorite one.

So I'm on vscode with the extension Project Manager for Java but i can only occasionally see the java projects window on the side bar. I check the three dots, nothing. Open view, nothing. The extension is on and enabled. I would show images, but the photos I took apparently take too much space. I can't figure out a difinitive way to restart vscode or the extension, just closing/disabling and opening/enabling
Ok, so turns out you have to open a java file. THEN it opens all the java extensions. That's really dumb and I hope they change that at some point.
For some reason, my vscode is no longer showing any settings in the UI settings pane. I can still open my settings.json, but even with my settings editor set to "workbench.settings.editor": "ui", I still get this:
I'm on macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 and vscode version 1.52.1
Any ideas on what might be causing this? Should I make a backup of my settings files and then reset the settings to default?
I was having this exact same issue recently, so I was a little disappointed when there were no solutions. I did not have my settings editor set to "workbench.settings.editor": "ui",as you had, so I tried doing that, but after restarting vscode it didn't appear to do anything.
I've been working in the same folder for a while now, so I tried toggling to a different folder to see if somehow that would kickstart vscode into displaying the settings pane. That did not work, but when I toggled back to the folder that I was originally in, the settings pane was now populating with the normal settings for User and Workspace.
A little bit more troubleshooting and it seems like if I have the settings pane already open in the workspace when the workspace loads (either by toggling to a new folder or by restarting vscode), I can see the settings, but if the settings pane is not already open in a workspace and I try to open it, I get a blank page. I also noticed that the settings pane that appears when you load a fresh workspace is stuck on one tab (ie the settings don't change if you toggle between User and Workspace), but if I close and reopen the tab (not the whole workspace), it works as expected. Here's a gif to prove I'm not crazy:
This is me just clicking around to show the behavior I'm describing
I can't embed the picture because of my reputation, but hopefully that shows the behavior I am seeing. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the day this is still somehow my fault because of my settings or something, but hopefully this helps someone else.
Small Edit
Just wanted to point out that I acknowledge that this is not an actual solution to the underlying problem, but it's certainly worked well enough for me for now, maybe some one else can chime in with the true solution.
I've encountered a very strange bug with Microsoft Visual Studio Code. I've been using VSCode for a few months now and never had this issue. When I open VSCode, the window just doesn't appear. The app is definitely open, because when I hover over the icon on my taskbar I can see what is being displayed in the app:
Unfortunately, when I click on it, the window does not appear.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted cache, tried older versions and nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? Any advice?
hover over VSCode icon in taskbar
right click on it
click on "New Window"
That should do it.
I had something similar. It appears that the window is just off-screen. I've used my DisplayFusion display manager - to move windows to center/top where I could handle it myself. I expect it'll also work using <Win> + <←> (maximize window to left side of screen).
In my case, the issue went away when uninstalling the GlassIt-VSC extension. I tried modifying the opacity of the window and then it disappeared. I highly suggest you try uninstalling this extension.
In my case I had connected HDMI cable but due to power off my monitor was off, but when I disconnected hdmi cable; VS code visible on my screen.
Got the answer since no one was helping.
Go to view.
Click solution explorer.
It should show the name of your project.
Click the small arrow at the beginning of the heading of your project.
Click source files.
Click yourproject.cpp.
Thank you.
I encountered a similar issue with a plugin called GlassIt while I was playing with a property called "glassit.alpha" somehow it went to 1 (possibly I changed it accidentally) and nothing showed up. (here's an image where you can slightly see that I set alpha to 20)
what i did was to just edit the %appdata%\..\Roaming\Code\User\Settings.json and set "glassit.alpha": 1, to 255
UPDATE I just realised there was already an answer I didn't see while I was writing this post
I had this issue during a remote desktop session and could bring the VSC window back via hitting F11 (via the onscreen keyboard in my case, since the F11 key on my keyboard was being captured by the host system).
In my case, I have a dual monitor setup, and the laptop was in clamshell mode. However, the laptop's built-in monitor was recognized as a third monitor, and VsCode was going there.
I have added the local folder into the "Filesystem" tab of the Workspace. I see the CSS file I need to edit with the green badge (the linked icon) as shown on the screenshot below. As I make the changes, I see them being reflected on the page. However, as soon as I refresh the page, the linking just disappear just for the file I have edited. But as soon as I upload the file to the server, then the linking starts working until another refresh.
Am I missing something? Is there a setting that I need to do?
Chrome was not able to store persistent changes on version 63. They have introduced something called overrides with version 64.
Figured this frustrating thing out as an annoying side effect is that once you loose the mapping breakpoints stop working and the only solution was to reloading Chrome.
It appears sync is lost when using multiple Chrome DevTools trick as per here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55507080/913223 .
The work around is to re-open the file using CTRL+P command palette. Notice in the screenshot below the file is duplicated, opening the virtual one re-connects mapping and brings back the green icon.
I need to disable the "Exceptions" window that pops when you encounter an IDE error in Netbeans - I always report when I can but is driving me crazy right now.
Don't get me wrong, I love the application, but I'm getting tired of the errors on my screen, sometimes needing to delete a file and create him again to enable me to continue.
I can drag it to the side but my mouse loses focus.
I'm using Windows 7 and latest version of Java (netbeans PHP ide)
Is this possible?
You need to modify <netbeans-install-dir>/etc/netbeans.conf
Add
-J-Dnetbeans.exception.alert.min.level=99999 -J-Dnetbeans.exception.report.min.level=99999
to the netbeans_default_options entry.
You have to set some properties when launching Netbeans. Modify your application configuration in "nbproject/platform.properties" by finding a line run.args.extra=... and adding at the end:
-J-Dnetbeans.exception.alert.min.level=99999 -J-Dnetbeans.exception.report.min.level=99999
You'll find the details in Netbeans' wiki.
I would recommend using -J-Dnetbeans.exception.report.min.level=99999 but not the other one. This means the error icon will still appear when there is a problem, and you can report the error if you have a moment, but no dialog will pop up without your asking it to.
