There’s one thing that resolves the issue. • Open settings. • Search for ‘autosave’. • Set it to ‘afterDelay’. • Just below that, set the AutoSaveDelay to anything very less like 5 (I have set it to 1) • Now search for ‘Wait’ in settings. • In LiveServer > Settings:Wait, set the value very low (e.g. 3). This should help regardless of platforms 😃
