These scripts control the automatic update behavior of extensions. Updates are fetched from Microsoft servers. Use of online Microsoft services can disclose information about you and your behavior.

Visual Studio Code, by default, fetches recommendations from online Microsoft servers. This script modifies that default behavior, making recommendations from Microsoft servers available only on demand, rather than being fetched automatically. Despite this setting being deprecated, it is still respected.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) periodically fetches changes from remote repositories. This feature lets VS Code display how many changes your local repository is ahead or behind the remote. This script disables the automatic fetching, providing you more control over when you communicate with remote servers. Note that this feature shares data not with Microsoft, but with the servers hosting the remote repositories you're working with. As of VS Code 1.19, this feature is disabled by default, althoug...

Settings Sync is a Visual Studio Code feature that synchronizes settings, keybindings, and installed extensions across different machines. This data is stored in the Microsoft Cloud.

Visual Studio Code fetches data from NPM and Bower to provide autocompletion and hover information for npm dependencies. By default, this feature is enabled and fetches data from "https://registry.npmjs.org" and "https://registry.bower.io". This script prevents the automatic fetching of package information. You can disable this feature by setting "npm.fetchOnlinePackageInfo" to "false".

This script prevents Visual Studio Code from displaying release notes after an update.

By default, Visual Studio Code sends setting search queries to Microsoft servers. This is part of the natural language search mode, which is powered by a Microsoft online service. You can disable this feature by setting "enableNaturalLanguageSettingsSearch" to "false". For more information, see [Settings search | Feature announcement](https://web.archive.org/web/20221029223417/https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/8f6d43a3b24d8661f25f93d5e679c3e6ee1191b6/release-notes/v1_20.md#settings-s...

Visual Studio Code synchronizes all built-in and installed extensions, along with their global enablement state, by default. This script prevents the synchronization of all Visual Studio Code extensions. To disable extension synchronization, set "settingsSync.ignoredExtensions", which configures the list of extensions to be ignored during synchronization.

By default, Keyboard Shortcuts are synchronized across platforms. You can disable this by setting "settingsSync.keybindingsPerPlatform" to "false".

By default, Visual Studio Code synchronizes all settings, except for machine settings (those with machine or machine-overridable scopes), as these are specific to a given machine. This script disables the synchronization of all settings. You can specify settings to ignore during synchronization using the "settingsSync.ignoredSettings" setting.

By default, Visual Studio Code automatically checks extensions for updates. If an update for an extension is available, it is marked as outdated in the Extensions view. These updates are fetched from a Microsoft online service. This script disables the automatic checking of updates for extensions. It achieves this by setting "extensions.autoCheckUpdates" to "false".

This script disables automatic type acquisition, a feature that fetches "@types" packages from npm to improve IntelliSense for external libraries. Although this feature is disabled by default, you can ensure it's off by setting "typescript.disableAutomaticTypeAcquisition" to "false".

By default, VS Code is configured to automatically update when new versions are released. Automatic updates reduce your control over privacy by sending data to Microsoft servers. On Linux, updates are often handled by the system package manager, rendering this setting redundant. To opt out of auto-updates, the Update: Mode ("update.mode") setting is changed from default to none. "update.mode" has replaced the older "update.channel" setting. · Issue #70084 · microsoft/vscode · GitHub | github.com

Edit Sessions is a Visual Studio Code feature that synchronizes uncommitted changes between VS Code for the Web (e.g., GitHub Codespaces) and the Desktop version, storing data in the Microsoft Cloud. This script disables Edit Sessions and its more granular subsettings like "workbench.experimental.editSessions.autoStore", "workbench.editSessions.autoResume", and "workbench.editSessions.continueOn".

The "telemetry.telemetryLevel" preference can be adjusted as follows: "default" (on): Transmits usage data, errors, and crash reports. • "error": Transmits general error telemetry and crash reports. • "crash": Transmits OS-level crash reports. • "off": Disables all product telemetry. This script disables telemetry data, which includes usage data, errors, and crash reports. The "telemetry.enableTelemetry" was the primary option to disable telemetry collection. This disabled the collection of diag...
