Extension manager suggestions: How can I remove some extensions from the suggestions ?

Hello,

For example I don't like to see resharper any time when I open the extension manager.

I would like to have a possibility to remove it from my suggestion list.

Thanks.

Hello @Yuriy Prokofiev ,

I’m afraid, it’s currently not possible.

In Visual Studio, there’s no option to change this default setting.

I recommend you kindly submit a suggestion ticket on our Developer Community - Visual Studio for better help.

Feel free to let us know if you have any further concerns:)

Best Regards,

Tianyu

To remove extensions from the suggestions in the Extension Manager, follow these steps:

1. Open the Extension Manager.
2. Click on the three dots (⋯) next to the extension you want to remove from suggestions.
3. Select "Hide" or "Dismiss" from the dropdown menu.

Alternatively, you can also:

1. Click on the "Manage" button at the top right corner of the Extension Manager.
2. Select "Extension suggestions" or "Recommended extensions" from the dropdown menu.
3. Find the extension you want to remove and click the "X" or "Remove" button next to it.

Note that removing an extension from suggestions doesn't uninstall it. If you want to uninstall an extension, follow these steps:

1. Open the Extension Manager.
2. Find the extension you want to uninstall.
3. Click the "Uninstall" or "Remove" button next to it.

By removing extensions from suggestions, you'll help the Extension Manager provide more relevant recommendations tailored to your needs.
