VS Code Extension: No option to resume previous conversations on Windows
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 14, 2026 by Mexx71 Closed May 4, 2026
Description
The VS Code Extension (v2.1.76) on Windows does not show any option to resume or select previous conversations. On macOS with the same extension version (2.1.76), this works fine — there is a UI to select and reopen past chats.
Environment
- Windows: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.26200, VS Code Extension 2.1.76 (win32-x64), Claude Code CLI 2.1.73
- macOS: Extension 2.1.76 — resume/select works correctly
Details
- Conversation
.jsonlfiles are being saved correctly under~/.claude/projects/<project>/ - The data is there, but the extension UI does not expose a way to resume them
- On macOS the same extension version shows a conversation picker
Steps to Reproduce
- Open VS Code on Windows with Claude Code extension 2.1.76
- Have a conversation, close it
- Open a new conversation — no option to resume or pick a previous chat
Expected Behavior
Same as macOS: a UI element to browse and resume previous conversations.
