Settings Sync: Extension Uninstall behavior

[ninelore]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: n/a

• VS Code Version: 1.89.1 (any)
• OS Version: any

Ive been seeing this for a while now:

If i use settings sync on multiple machines, uninstall an extension on machine A and the use machine B, the extension uninstalled on machine A will stay installed. In some cases, the uninstalled extension will be reinstalled when i use machine A again

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have Extensions synced
2. Uninstall extension on machine A
3. Start VSCode on machine B: Extension still installed
4. Start VSCode again on machine A: Uninstalled extension potentially gets reinstalled automatically

I could not identify the conditions on which the extension gets reinstalled.

I would either expect or at least be able to set that uninstalled extensions should be uninstalled on all synced machines

Can you please open the Settings Sync: Sync Activity (Remote) view using Settings Sync: Show Synced Data command from the Command Palette and check which machine of yours is installing the extension back?

Then from the machine can you please share/email me (sasmoava@microsoft.com) following data

• F1 > Settings Sync: Download Settings Sync Activity
