I’m facing an issue with GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code, where it’s not suggesting any code. Even though it says “enabled globally” in the extensions tab settings, the icon in the status bar has a diagonal line through it. When I click on the icon, it shows the status as “Ready (disabled).”

Problem Details:

Symptoms:

GitHub Copilot is not providing code suggestions.
Extension settings indicate that it’s enabled globally.

Observations:

In the extensions tab settings, it shows as “disable,” That means it is enabeled.
Clicking on the icon in the status bar reveals the status as “Ready (disabled).”

Solution

Just click on the copilot icon at the bottom right corner and type “Enable Completions” or “Disable Completions”.
