Git diff decorations not showing in editor or Explorer

[vncnth]

Type: Bug

Hi, I recently noticed that my editor and Explorer no longer show any Git decorations (i.e. the blue and green lines in the editor, "U" and "M" in the Explorer), even though Source Control detects changes and will show the diff.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, as well as reinstalling a previous version of VS Code, to no avail.

Interestingly, I've noticed that the colors don't show when I open my file through my workspace in VS Code...

...but they do when I open the same file directly from Windows Explorer by dragging and dropping it into the VS Code editor section:

Can someone help me please?

@vncnth, are you able to reproduce the issue with the latest VS Code Insiders release (v1.90)? Thanks!

Hi @lszomoru, thanks for responding so quickly. Yes, I get the same issue with the latest VS Code Insiders release.

I hadn't included a screenshot of the Source Control / Explorer issue in my initial post so here it is - Source Control shows the files that have diffs, but the green/yellow highlights in the Explorer don't appear:

Thinking back, I noticed that this issue first started after my VS Code auto-updated a few releases back and I received this prompt for the first time:

I had clicked either "Yes" or "Always" and that's when this issue started happening.

Interestingly, when I look this setting up, it's set to "prompt," but I don't receive a prompt each time I open my workspace. Maybe something is wrong with how this setting functions?

Hi @lszomoru, I unintentionally closed this, but reopened it as it's still an issue. Do you have any updates?
