Hi.
I have been using PlatformIO for a long time and suddenly this afternoon, the task bar with the PlatformIO icons (build, flash, monitor, etc) is not opening. Instead its showing the normal VS code taskbar. I have tried uninstalling everything, VScode, PIO, all C extensions, all extensions in fact and also deleting the .platformio folder under users.
Any help on whats caused this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Same thing happening to me all of a sudden. No reason. I’ve uninstalled VS Code and PlatformIO twice. Taskbar/Toolbar is still missing the compile, upload… icons.
You can still use keyboard shortcut commands!!!:
Compile —> Ctrl - Alt - C
Upload —> Ctrl - Alt - U
VERY annoying. Great software though.
I edited my post above. They keyboard commands didn’t show the first time I posted because I used “<>” around the key names. I’m just posting again for those that may have missed what the keys were. Not being able to compile and upload is a show stopper. Thus this seconds post for those that missed it:

Ah ha!!!
My other development platform just lost the PlatformIO compile, upload, … icons as well. Visual Studio Code updated automatically to version: May 2023 (version 1.79)
That must be what broke PlatformIO’s toolbar Icons. Use those key shortcuts for now. I haven’t tried uninstalling VSC update May 2023 (version 1.79).
I am also having this problem, i.e. the blue toolbar at the bottom is gone. Not sure if it is related, but I am also getting errors that the pty host is unresponsive.
If I open my user settings.json in APPDATA, I see the platform-ide.toolbar definitions that were working previously. Also, the dropdown at the top has the Build, Upload, etc. commands
Is there a fix or workaround for this?
The problem is from VSCode 1.79. I installed 1.78 and the problem is fixed.
Sorry for the issue. Please update the PlatformIO IDE extension for VSCode to 3.2.0:
