In around July 2025, VS Code introduced some kind of AI autocomplete. I want to turn it off.

All the previous options like github.copilot.enable or github.copilot.editor.enableAutoCompletions don't work anymore. How to disable them?

I don't have any Copilot extension.

    Of course you have a copilot extension: you just don't to decide whether it's enabled or not, it's baked into VS Code. Because it's a Microsoft product. The best you can do is run through stackoverflow.com/questions/75377406/… and if that no longer works, then I guess we're properly stuck with this nonsense now. Commented Jul 28 at 14:31
  • ctrl + , search auto complete, you can see there which is extension or vscode setting have it. Commented Jul 28 at 14:33
  • is this the same as stackoverflow.com/q/79283294/11107541? Commented Jul 29 at 3:38
  • It is infuriating to me how often I type in exactly what I want and the editor "auto-corrects" it to complete nonsense. Commented Sep 10 at 12:03

It seems doing "Hide copilot" in the menu really removes all AI and Copilot appearances.

I have recently had an issue from an update around that time which had this [completion](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/copilot/ai-powered-suggestions) added with a green tab:

For this specific problem, go to settings.json, User, then search for @tag:nextEditSuggestion and change the following setting from Editor>Inline Suggest>Edits: Allow Code Shifting from always to never.

enter image description here

How I easily accessed the menu was when the green tab came up came up, hover over it and click settings.

Note - to activate the changes, I had to close the file after changing the settings and re open the file.

Edit - on further investigation, other settings on the above will also need to be toggled remove it altogether - refer to the documentation for a complete list of settings and what they do.
