This worked for me, thanks.

Yes sometimes, code doesnt install or extract the extension completely.

I have updated the packages with the latest versions in the latest version v3.2.5
Make sure you are using latest version of vscode.

Remove the Settings Sync, check if the extension folder is removed, if not removed - Delete the folder.
Install Settings Sync again.

Let me know if it fix

If error is still there, post the image of error from the vscode console.

[fullenw1]

Uninstalled the extension and removed the folder.
ri $home\.vscode\extensions\shan* -re -fo
Still same problem...

[shanalikhan]

is there any exception logged in console ? for vscode

[fullenw1]

No exception. The Output view of the terminal is empty.
I can only view this in the Log (Extension Host):

Here you are:

[ShinobiWPS]

Getting same error, tried with folder trick, nothing changed.

[shanalikhan]

Another method you guys can try:

1. Download the extension last update link - Or open the page and Click Download Extension to download the latest extension package that available.
2. Install extension via command line

code --install-extension Shan.code-settings-sync-3.2.8.vsix

Restart the Code to see if it helps.

Because its might be occurring to due network issue while downloading from code itself.

[fullenw1]

What I've done:

1. Uninstall the extension in VSCode
2. Downloaded the VSIX file
3. Click on the three dots at the top of the Extensions side bar and chose "Install from VSIX"
4. Reload VSCode

Got the same error :-(

Recently I had an issue with the PowerShell extension. And this happened because on a particular computer I was not using a workspace.
For your extension, I tried both with and without workspace but still get the same error.

This is a pity because your extension is so useful on my other computers. :-(

[shanalikhan]

Try with the latest version of Settings Sync v3.3.0.

[chris-pearce]

I am also getting this, I tried all the suggestions and none of them worked.

[fullenw1]

I installed version 3.4.1 and have still the same issue.

Code Settings Sync Version : 3.4.3
Operating System : MacOS 10.15.1
