Environment/version

Steps to reproduce

After updating the extension, the Project manager icon disappeared from the sidebar. Project manager is displayed at the top of explorer, but I want to restore it because it is difficult to use.

Hi @mu60 ,

A few Side Bar icon missing issues has been faced before, and it has been always caused by some VS Code issue. Not only installation process but VS Code updates that somehow brakes the extension.

Solution 1 - reinstall the extension

In most of the cases, a full reinstall has fixed the issue. A full reinstall means:

Doing so, the extension will be removed from Extensions Folder, and VS Code should clear its cache. If you simply remove/install again on the same window (without closing VS Code), it almost never works.

Solution 2 - Reset View location

Another solution is to reset the view locations, using the View: Reset View Locations command. It is a VS Code native command, which resets any ui/panel/view customization you have made, resetting these ui components to its default state. The problem is, if you do any customization (drag & drop) on your views/panels, will be missed.

Unfortunately there is nothing else I can do. The icon follows VS Code specifications and no updates has been made for a long time.

Hope this helps
