Environment

• .NET Core SDK 3.1
• VSCode C# Extension 1.21.9
• Mac

Reference

OmniSharp/omnisharp-vscode Wiki

If you had Visual Studio Code open at the time you installed the .NET SDK, and you haven't restarted it, you should do so.

My Solution

Exit VSCode and open it…

Reason

I try not to exit vscode on my mac when it’s connected to a monitor because vscode has some GPU rendering problem in this circumstances. This habbit leads to the problems.

If there’s still people having this issue then try this:

1. From start menu search for “this pc”, right click and select properties.
2. Click Advanced system settings
3. Click on “Environment Variables…”
4. Select either the Users or Systems “Path” variable and click Edit…
5. In either of them you should find the path to your “dotnet” folder

now in my case I had 2 C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ and C:\Program Files\dotnet\ if you actually go to the folders you’ll notice that there’s no sdk folder within the C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\ folder. So simply select C:\Program Files\dotnet\ and click the “move up” button. Then click OK all the way out of there, now try and see if things are working…
