Preventing automatic updates to retain a specific version​

By default, VS Code automatically updates extensions as new versions are released. Refer to the following steps to prevent automatic updates:

  1. On the VS Code menu bar, click File, Preferences, and click Settings to display the Settings editor.

  2. Select the User or Workspace tab, depending on which settings you want to update.

  3. In the Settings navigation menu, click Features and click Extensions.

  4. In the Auto Update dropdown menu, select None. This prevents VS Code from updating your extensions automatically.

    VS Code is configured to stop updating your extensions, and Zowe Explorer extensions, automatically.
