Hi @govind patel , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You can navigate to File > Preferences > Settings > type “activity” in the Search bar > Appearance > Workbench > Side Bar: Location > change it to left in the dropdown list. 

Or try to reset all settings of Visual Studio Code. 

If it doesn’t work, please report it to the dedicated GitHub-vscode forum where you would get support for this product. Thanks for your understanding. 

Sincerely,

Anna
