Description

info-needed

Type: Bug

  1. Update vs code
  2. Notice that vs code is asking me to sign in again (in the tile bar)

Every update to vs code signs me out of github, so i need to sign back in to use copilot. I'm fairly certain this is a recent regression (probably within the last month or so).

In combination with the weekly updates, this is very frustrating.

VS Code version: Code 1.126.0 (7e7950df89d055b5a378379db9ee14290772148a, 2026-06-23T01:46:13Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26200
