No profile file found - visual-studio-code

Every time I start Visual Studio Code, the IDE pauses for a while, then the output window displays two instances of [Info] No profile file found. It does this for any folder I open, regardless of project type. I've uninstalled, then reinstalled VS Code, and even started disabling each extension separately to see which causes the error with no clear result. Any ideas?
Visual Studio Output Window

It seems like my problem's unique since nobody had a solution and I couldn't find any references to it elsewhere on the Internet. I finally just decided to start deleting my Visual Studio Code extensions, on the second one the problem went away.
Now you'll probably want to ask me what extension it was, but I'd rather not say. I submitted an issue to the developer of the extension and it will be (hopefully) fixed soon.

VS Code issues on save

This problem is very weird to describe...
Sometimes null characters are added to the end of the open document.
Other times lines are deleted from the end of the document.
I feel like these must be related in a way.
I cannot reliably reproduce the error. But it seems to be connected to when I save the document since it happens much more frequently when autosave is enabled.
Installed extensions are:
Python,
Jupyter,
GithubCopilot,
R
The problem appears as soon as the jupyter extension is enabled.
The funny thing is I have the exact same setup on my desktop with absolutely no problems.
I tried removing visual studio code and the files created in the following folders:
%APPDATA%\Code and %USERPROFILE%.vscode - along with the other extension files like .jupyter.
Reinstalled everything.
Same problem.
You may install the Prettier extension. Prettier would suggest you add a blank line at the end of files so it may prevent cutting the final line in your saved files. I usually use this method.
You can find it on VS Code Marketplace or the documentation.

Unity3D 2020 - VSCode - What happened to intellisense?

Overnight, any help I had for Unity3D in VSCode, i.e. intellisense, disappeared. And I get the sense, no pun intended, that I'm not the only one who's afflicted.
I've tried updating and reinstalling what I assumed VSCode needed to make Unity3D intellisense work. And have checked and re-checked settings, reinstalled VSCode package, in Unity3D.
I've worked through a few tutorials that claimed to address the issue.
What else does VSCode depend on to make this relationship work?
Thanks! Here's to hoping you've fixed this and your life has gotten easier!
Try going to Edit > Preferences > External Tools > Regenerate Project Files (This is because of a bug where the VS Code extension doesn't generate the project files correctly the first time, you can check it out here).
You'll need to be using the VS Code Editor Extension 1.2.0 (you can check which version you're using in the package manager) or later for that option to appear. Also if for whatever reason there are 2 .sln files in your project folder (I've had that happen before, though it's less likely), that also causes problems.
Ok. First, thanks to Lightning_A and Charleh!
The resolution to my specific circumstance was to install the VSCode extension "Unity Snippets Modified" https://github.com/with-heart/vscode-unity-snippets
I had been using https://github.com/kleber-swf/vscode-unity-code-snippets.
Perhaps it's just a matter of Kleber's extension, which is/was great, was broken upon updating Unity to 2020? I dunno and don't have the time to look into it, unfortunately.
Hopefully, my question, the answers I received, and my subsequent resolution saves others from the rabbit-hole I went down.
Again, thanks everyone!

Something is wrong with Visual Studio Code syntax highlighting or simply the text display

I don't know how to describe my problem except via picture.
Don't judge my code, but if you look between the letters you will see random bits of characters. This Doesn't seem to effect how it compiles and runs, but I really want it to go away.
I've tried restarting visual studio code, closing the document withing visual studio code and reopening, and restarting my computer. Beyond that, I have no ideas. I think this problem may have started when I elected to install C/C++ Intellisense.

fyi: I don't know how to word my problem in a way that helps google take me to relevant sources.

VS Code - changing tab disables extensions. What am I doing wrong?

Using Visual Studio Code I have installed a few extensions (like Guidelines showing vertical dotted lines between pairs of matching brackets). When I start VS Code I can see all my extensions working fine in the Editor window.
However, when I switch to another tab within VS Code, I no longer see the Guidelines or evidence of any extension working in the new editor tab. Worst of all, when I then switch back to my original tab, all the guidelines etc that were there a few seconds ago are gone!
To fix the issue I have to restart VS Code. This can't be right! Has anyone hit the same problem?
I have tried uninstalling VS Code where it warns me some components could not be uninstalled and I have to do them manually. It doesn't tell me which. When I then reinstall, the extensions are visible (without me reinstalling them) but again I hit the same issues as above.
Please help?
Seems like having too many extensions installed, or perhaps one that is misbehaving behind the scenes, causes this problem. Reduce the number of installed extensions. Use Help->Developer Tools -> Console to see if there are any messages relating to the Extensions server

Visual studio online source control breaks debugging

I'm completely new to source/version control and I recently decided to try out the Visual Studio online service (the renamed TFS online service). I ran into a problem and now I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or is the VSOnline service faulty.
Problem is as follows:
Completely working Windows phone 8 project. Compiler and debugger working as expected in VS13 ultimate (also in VS12 pro).
However, when I add the project to source control and check it in. Then check it back out it breaks.
Symptoms:
1) XAML markup not recognized. IntelliSense reports error for every single XAML tag, even fundamental tags like Phone:PhoneApplicationPage. These errors can be cleared if I change from debug to release mode, but they re-appear when I launch project next time.
2) Debug target not changeable. In the dialog where you can typically choose between device and different emulator modes there is only one option "start". Impossible to deploy app on actual device. "Start" always launches default emulator (which works fine, no bugs there), but you can't choose which emulator.
3) VS13 crashes when I try to open debug tab in project properties/settings.
4) Attempt to build the solution in VSonline fails.
I realize there is a possibility I'm doing something wrong. Never used source control before, but in my understanding I still should be able to handle the project completely normal after check-out. Restrictions to debugging or deploying to device would seem counter-productive to me.
And also the false errors and VS13 crashing in settings implies there is something broken.
Any opinion, advice or help will be hugely appreciated.
After few days of relentless effort I was able to solve the problem.
As I work from home and my own computer, I'm always logged in with my personal account.
And I was logged in visual studio with my work account which has the MSDN subscription.
This caused account clash and all the odd behavior. Logging out from all browser didn't help, it mysteriously kept my personal account always logged in. And I believe this is caused by Skydrive.
So I set up new user account for my work id, log in using that and all started working perfectly.
Bottom line: If you wish to use visual studio online or log in in VS, make sure you are logged in with same account on the computer.
