Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video I will show you if you are
0:04
facing some kind of an issue inside VS
0:07
code while saving your files. You get a
0:09
pop-up message that unable to save uh
0:11
your file
0:14
that kind of message on the right hand
0:15
side whenever you try to save your file.
0:18
Then I also personally saved this uh
0:21
faced this issue while working with
0:23
settings.json file while saving my
0:26
settings. So it I got this message
0:28
unable to save your user settings file.
0:30
So what I did that I basically
0:34
uh restart my VS code by actually
0:40
uh closing all the active VS code
0:42
windows and just restart my VS code and
0:45
then automatically added the properties
0:47
and it then it automatically worked.
0:52
So
0:53
now I just make changes no error
0:55
messages come. So the only solution is
0:58
that if you are still facing uh if uh
1:01
that message that enable to save
1:03
settings message whenever you try to
1:05
save any file in VS code just restart
1:07
your VS code and restart your computer
1:11
as well and then that will solve your
1:14
issue 99% of the time. So if you're
1:18
still facing that issue then obviously
1:21
you need to uninstall VS code from your
1:24
computer and install it once again and
1:27
uh just copy all the settings that you
1:30
have inside your settings dojson file
1:32
store it somewhere and then install a
