Hi @Thor Pfosten, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You are using Visual Studio Code, which is different from Visual Studio. The tag “Visual Studio” is related to Visual Studio, for more questions about Visual Studio Code, you can post it to the Stack Overview tagged visual-studio-code forum or GitHub repository where you would get professional support for this product.

Thanks for your understanding. 

Sincerely,

Anna
