I've installed vs2026 and tried it with our c# solutions.
For vs2022 I have sticky scroll, rainbow braces and amazon q
For vs2026 I imported settings but sticky scroll does not seem to work. no rainbow braces and I have a copilot option in view drop down but no amazon q.
How do I fix this?

Please note, I have delved into the Tools > Options and tried various settings such as for example selecting Brace Matching - Level 1. To no noticeable effect.

    It seems like you're experiencing issues with features in Visual Studio 2026 that were available in Visual Studio 2022. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve these issues:

    1. Sticky Scroll: Ensure that you have enabled Sticky Scroll in Visual Studio 2026. You can do this by navigating to Tools > Options > Text Editor > General and checking the option for "Group the current scopes within a scrollable region of the editor window" under the Sticky Scroll section.
    2. Rainbow Braces: The rainbow braces feature is part of the brace pair colorization functionality. You can enable this by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor and toggling the "Enable brace pair colorization" checkbox. Make sure to check if the feature is supported in the version you are using.
    3. Amazon Q: If the Amazon Q option is not appearing, it may be due to the specific extensions or features not being included in the Visual Studio 2026 installation. Ensure that you have installed all necessary workloads and extensions that were present in your Visual Studio 2022 setup.
    4. Importing Settings: When importing settings from Visual Studio 2022, not all settings may transfer perfectly. You might need to manually configure some settings in Visual Studio 2026 to match your previous setup.
    5. Check for Updates: Make sure that your Visual Studio 2026 installation is up to date, as updates may fix bugs or add features that are missing.

    If you continue to experience issues, consider checking the Visual Studio documentation or community forums for additional support specific to the features you're trying to use.
