Hello friends!

After installing GitHub Copilot extension in Visual Studio, and after configuring Github Account, copilot gets disabled with the following message in output log:

The weirdest thing is that Chat extension actually works fine. I've read all documentation and followed all troubleshooting topics related to network issues. Also I've installed and reinstalled the extension a lot of times. Does anyone have any idea of how to deal with this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Well, after restarting my computer the issue has vanished. I must have known, always try the restart first.
