Strangely there is lots of information on how to turn it on and log in but for me I have spent quite some time searching and can find no way to turn it off!
The information under: How do I delete my data? does not help me as there is no checkbox I can see.
If you want to remove all your data from our servers, just turn off sync via the Manage gear menu and select the checkbox to clear all cloud data. If you choose to re-enable sync, it will be as if you're signing in for the first time.
Whenever I use vscode there is a handy blue number that indicates when a new update is available. Now that number is always 1 and is 2 when there is an update.
The reason for the blue number 1 now is that it wants me to sign in to microsoft. It would be great if I could stop vscode asking for a sign in to Microsoft.
Sorry if I have missed something obvious.
Thank you in advance.
From https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/94927:
It was only by searching the github issues that I learned to use cmd-shift-p and type "Preferences Sync" to find the disable command.
I am not able to test this since I turned on Settings Sync and so the badge notification went away for that reason.
