Question

Visual Studio no longer showing code changes

softwaregeezers 0

Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current

Version 17.8.2

I've just noticed VS no longer marks green highlights in the scroll bar for code changes. I use this to quickly navigate around edits I'm making. I'm guessing it happened with the latest update a day or two ago. Why has this happened and how do I get these indicators back? Cheers.

Try to right-click the vertical scrollbar, select the Scroll Bar Options, verify the settings for All Languages and for required language.

Hi @softwaregeezers ,

If the same issue also appears in other newly created projects, probably you need to try a reset(reset settings).

If the issue only appears in the specific project, try to remove the hidden .vs folder in your solution folder, rebuild the project and check again.

By the way, it seems that you are using 17.8.2 version of Visual Studio 2022, as you know, the latest version of VS 2022 is version 17.12.1, do you consider updating VS 2022 to the latest version maybe?

Feel free to let us know the results.

Hi @softwaregeezers ,

We have not heard from you for a couple of days. May I know if the green highlights for code changes show correctly now?

If this just started happening after an update to VS then you should really report it to MS using Report a Problem. In almost all cases they will recommend the following steps.

Reset your settings to default (ideally after backing up your existing settings). Then try again. If it works then your settings are messed up with the changes. Reapply your settings again to see if the fix remains.
If you are using an extensions then disable or uninstall them and try again. If the problem goes away then reinstall the extensions to see if the problem remains fixed or is reintroduced by one your extensions.
Repair the VS installation (never works for me).
