Visual Studio Code no sincroniza extensiones

Thanks for the update.

If some extensions are syncing and others are not, even after reinstalling VS Code, this is expected behavior in certain scenarios.

VS Code does not automatically sync extensions installed in Remote‑SSH, WSL, or Dev Containers. These extensions are environment‑specific and must be installed separately in each remote environment. [code.visua...studio.com]

Additionally, extensions are profile‑scoped. If the third machine is using a different VS Code profile, synced extensions will not appear. Please ensure the same profile (for example, Default) is active on all machines. [code.visua...studio.com]

Also verify that no extensions are excluded in settingsSync.ignoredExtensions and that Extensions are enabled under Settings Sync configuration.

Since synchronization is working as designed, reinstalling VS Code alone will not resolve this unless the above conditions are met.

Let me know if you need any further help with this. I will be happy to assist. If you find this helpful, Kindly mark the provided solution as "Accept Answer", so that others in the community facing similar issues can easily find the solution. Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Hola buenas de nuevo, he hecho todo lo que me han dicho y aun asi no se me han sincronizado todas. Incluso e reinstalado el visual studio code y no se ha sincornizado todo

Hola de nuevo. Lamentablemente aun no pude solucionar el problema de la sincronizacion de todas las extensiones de visual studio code. Si que he conseguido conectar algunas, pero no todas.

Thanks for reaching out.
This behavior is usually caused by Settings Sync not being fully enabled, profile‑specific installs, or account/sync conflicts.

Steps to fix

1. Verify the same account is used on all machines
   • Sign in to VS Code on all three computers using the same Microsoft or GitHub account.
   • Extensions will not sync across different accounts. [code.visua...studio.com]
2. Confirm Extensions are included in Settings Sync
   • Open Accounts (bottom‑left) → Settings Sync is On
   • Select Settings Sync: Configure
   • Ensure Extensions is checked [code.visua...studio.com]
3. Check VS Code Profiles
   • If the third computer is using a different profile, extensions may not appear.
   • Extensions must be installed for All Profiles or the same profile must be active [bing.com]
4. Force a manual sync
   • Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
   • Run Settings Sync: Sync Now [bing.com]
5. Check ignored extensions
   • Open settings.json and verify this is not blocking extensions:
   JSON "settingsSync.ignoredExtensions": [ ] [code.visua...studio.com]
6. Sign out and sign back in
   • Accounts → Sign Out
   • Restart VS Code
   • Sign in again and enable sync [bing.com]
7. Update VS Code
   • Ensure the same Stable build version is used on all machines [code.visua...studio.com]

   Note: Extensions do not sync when VS Code is opened in Remote SSH, WSL, or Dev Containers. [code.visua...studio.com]
