Hello GitHub Support Team,

I was using GitHub Copilot without any issues in Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14. However, after installing the Visual Studio 2026 Insider version, I started encountering the following error, which prevents me from using Copilot properly.

I have already tried uninstalling both the Insider and stable versions of Visual Studio and then reinstalling them, but the issue still persists. I also attempted signing out and signing back in, but that did not resolve the problem either.

I am currently a GitHub Copilot Pro subscriber, and this situation has been quite disruptive. Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue?

Thank you very much for your support.

Looks like this has been fixed in the latest release:
=> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/vs18/release-notes-insiders#11018.127

At least in VS2026 on ARM64 (Windows 11 + Snapdragon), I can't reproduce the issue anymore.

Hi!
It looks like the issue is caused by a conflict between the stable VS 2022 and the Insider VS 2026 installation. The stack trace indicates that the Copilot static initialization (UseApproximateTokenCounter) failed, which usually happens when multiple VS instances or mismatched Copilot extension versions interfere with each other.
A few steps you can try:
Completely uninstall all VS versions (both stable and Insider) and delete related extension caches:
%LocalAppData%\GitHubCopilot
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio (specific to your versions)
Reinstall only one stable VS version (17.14) and the Copilot extension.
Ensure sign-in to Copilot Pro is done after VS fully loads.
Avoid opening the Insider version until the stable setup works correctly.
If the issue persists even after a clean reinstall, it may be a bug in the Copilot extension handling multiple VS versions. In that case, contacting GitHub Copilot Support with this stack trace is the best option.

Hi,
I don't think the conflict is the cause as I have the same issue and I did not install VS 2026 insider.
I've also tried to delete %LocalAppData%\GitHub-Copilot and also copilot files in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio but I still get the same error
I have submitted this new issue to visual studio support team here : https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/copilot-RPC-server-exception-flag-UseAp/10969063?port=1025&fsid=134601e7-b8ca-4270-855d-193da716cec0

I get the same error in the latest vs2026, but it still works in the old vs2022 installation. I'm running a snapdragon computer - so it seems to be ARM64 related as many other also have mentioned.

Same thing here. I have both latest 2022 and 2026 running side by side, and they both have the same issue. It all happened after I did update to latest in 2022 the other day. I then installed 2026 yesterday to see if that worked, but that also had the same problem.

I also have VS Code running on the same machine, and that still works fine.

So until this is fixed, I do like this:
I have the same code open in both 2026 and VS Code. I do the copilot stuff in VS Code and then build and run in 2026.
I create MAUI apps, and that is a little tricky to debug in VS Code, so that is why I have to do it like that.

I am running on a MAC M4 pro machine (Tahoe 26.0), with latest Parallels Desktop. I.e. ARM64.

Open your visual studio installer and click More, there is a option to go back to old version

If you are like me who already tried reinstalling there is no rollback option you only bet is to download the older 17.14.14 build from the link below. it worked for me.

Ciao,
I encountered the same issue after updating to Visual Studio 2022 Community 17.14.15 on a Macbook/Parallels Desktop ARM64.
I just updated to version 17.14.16, and it seems to be resolved, although the bug fix isn't listed in the release notes.

For anyone still experiencing this issue — I recently encountered the same problem while installing Visual Studio Insiders on my Windows 11 machine. What worked for me was performing a "Repair" installation through the Visual Studio Installer. After one or two system restarts, the issue was completely resolved.

Thanks, but that did not help in my case. Creating a new chat (same VS solution) worked for me.
