How do I enable the run and debug dropdown menu in VS Code?


We're configuring an existing project to a coworker. Now we want to configure the debugger, however, we noticed that the dropdown menu doesn't appear on his VS Code interface. This is mine:

And this is his:

We tried the options in the Settings and the More options icons, and also searching in the settings, but we are struggling to find out how to make it appear


Solution

  • Finally found out how to restore it and thought we should share, since we didn't find anything on Google either

    This is how you can hide it (right-click on the box): Screenshot of VS Code showing right click menu with "Hide 'Start Debugging' option"

    And to enable it back, you must right-click the More Options icon, which now will show the "Reset Menu" option.
