Can't get rid of markdown extension I didn't install


I've started redacting markdown files inside VSCode (currently VS Codium, but I face the same issue in VSCode as well). What bothers me is that I see an odd preview with Chinese hieroglyphs everywhere: enter image description here I have no markdown extension installed (as seen on the left side of the screenshot). I tried to search for it, found extension's repo and looked for any similarly named files at %USERPROFILE%\.vscode-oss\extensions, but to no avail. Is there a way to find any markdown-related settings or somehow force the app to use a standard markdown editor or another extension? Thanks in advance.


Solution

  • Thanks to the great comment by rioV8 decided to just go through it manually.
    Turns out, that the "Office Viewer" extension is causing it.
    While I wanted to find a way to change it without deleting the extension, technically the question is answered.
