Beyond Copilot usage visibility, the June update delivers several other enhancements centered on AI-assisted development, security and quality-of-life improvements. Here's a quick rundown of the remaining additions announced by Microsoft.
The July 8, 2026, Visual Studio Code update expands agent workflows, chat attachments, browser-tab controls, OS-level shortcuts and enterprise telemetry management.
Microsoft says TypeScript 7, announced July 8, brings native Go performance to VS Code, Visual Studio and other editors.
