Initial set up Windows 10 - No Syntax highlighting

I am trying to transfer over to VS Code for editing in solidity. I did a clean install from:

https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_55

Version: 1.55.2 (user setup) Commit: 3c4e3df9e89829dce27b7b5c24508306b151f30d Date: 2021-04-13T09:35:57.887Z Electron: 11.3.0 Chrome: 87.0.4280.141 Node.js: 12.18.3 V8: 8.7.220.31-electron.0 OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

I have no other extensions installed besides Solidity. Below is an image of a .sol file and the syntax highlighting (or lack there of). Outside of strings, everything is either blue or white.

I am not sure if I am supposed to toggle some sort of setting, but I was not able to find any instructions related to it. I am not sure here the issue is here.

Here is my settings.JSON (I doubt this is useful but just incase):

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Visual Studio Dark",
    "zenMode.hideLineNumbers": false,
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false
}

I finally got it to work! I think VS code does not uninstall completely when you to to use the control panel process of doing it. I checked online and found that there are a lot of other folders that get left on your computer that save user settings. I deleted them and then reinstalled vscode and it works.
