Would it be possible to make a bug-fix release for this? As it fixes an issue which crashes vscode quite often for people on wayland with fractional scaling. (#156723)

Nightly insiders will contain the fix https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders from tomorrow.

Thank you thank you thank you for the option to disable UNC access checks.

Doesn't this shame bother anyone in the VS Code Team??

The VS Code product and developer team did a pretty great job,

while Microsoft Visual Studio has been out of step with state-of-the-art modern SW development for about 10 years and is therefore useless (especially in contrast to tools from JetBrains).

And now the VS Code product and developer team also starts to do shoddy work?

The example around security.allowedUNCHosts describes the new shame of the VS Code team very well:

1. the product team has not been thinking about which solution is useful and reasonable for this use case
2. therefore, some solution was developed and distributed. Apparently, the developers didn't realize the problems (I almost can't imagine), or the developers were muzzled.
3. Customers immediately notice that the "concept" for security.allowedUNCHosts is not usable (In fact: the concept is completely missing)
4. Now, the VS code team does not solve the actual problem (e.g. that one can add \\domain.com\* into the trusted list or that one can also reference a dynamic list)
5. Therefore, the VS Code Team is programming a workaround to disable the security feature.

Notabene:
we don't have many servers for the trusted list, but we didn't get it running because the VS Code developers could not complete the very limited feature (what a shame!): At startup, VS Code asks if the data from \\server.com\share\... is trusted, but VS Code does not add this URL to the truster list then 😢

When customers try to add trusted UNC hosts, they have to test many different spellings, but the chance is very small that any will work at all. Only because the VS Code team didn't finish the doc and didn't provide examples.

I would even bet that the reason it doesn't work is because the developers themselves didn't know what notation the UNC whitelist has to be.

It's really a pity, VS Code was a great product.

As the example shows, it takes very little to make it unusable.

Thanks a lot, kind regards,
