I tried the same steps on another version of Windows not insider preview and it work correctly.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

[sandy081]

Can you please let me know how does your settings file look like?

[aleppos]

@sandy081 it's juest an empty json
{ }

[sandy081]

Can you please open the synced activity view using the command Settings Sync: Show Synced Data and let me know the content of latest settings in the cloud?

@sandy081 The sync work when turn off "Keyboard Shortcuts" option, maybe this help?

[codendlearn]

turning off "Keyboard binging" worked for me.

[Knightcrawlerr]

after turning off keyboard shortcuts it works fine.

[sandy081]

Ok then it's nothing to do with settings but with keybindings, can you please provide your keybindings (local and remote) ?

[ingro]

@sandy081 I got the same problem too, how can I share my keybindings?

[ingro]

Maybe I found it, in the keybindings.json file I only have this:

[
    {
        "key": "ctrl+1",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusAtIndex1",
        "when": "terminalFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+2",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusAtIndex2",
        "when": "terminalFocus"
    }
]

I found disabling the keybindings when syncing also worked.

Workaround

• Add empty array [] to the keybindings file contents to overcome this issue

To verify:

• Machine A: Define some keybindings
• Machine A: Turn on Settings Sync
• Machine B: Open Keybindings file and have following content

// Empty Keybindings

• Machine B: Turn on Settings Sync
  Verify that Settings Sync is turned on Machine B and Keybindings file contents are replaced with that from Machine A

@sandy081 Can you clarify what the workaround is here?

[JackieZheng]

turning off "Keyboard binging" worked for me.

[knightdf]

turning off "Keyboard Shortcuts" worked for me

[kasvith]

Turning off keyboard sync worked for me as well

[sandy081]

@TK-Paraplex Workaround is to open your keyboard shortcuts file and add following content (empty array)

[]

[ingro]

@sandy081 thanks for the workaround but it doesn't seem to work in my case.

I have two machines on which I have VS Code installed.
In the machine A, which I synced first, there was an empty keyboard file // Empty
Now I'm trying to sync also machine B that has a valid keyboard file, but I always get the same error.

Maybe I have to fix the keyboard file on machine A before?

[sandy081]

@ingro Yes, the workaround does not work in your case. You have to turn off sync and clear data in the cloud and fix the keybindings file on machine A and sync again.

Anyways, we are planning to fix this and release it as recovery, with the fix you do no need any work arounds or clearing data.

[ingro]

Thanks @sandy081 I think I will wait for the recovery fix :)
