vscode: VS Code do not allow me to add network path
Type: Bug
Hi, I have an issue with one of my workspace folders that is on a remote host. Problem is that after editor update it asks for UNC name, I tried do all the suggestions that BING AI Copilot gave me. But still not working. Things I did:
- I added path to UNC Allowed host, by IP - not working
- I added name to Host and LMHost file - not working
- I added then security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles = open - and still not working.
Even AI Bot gived up and told me to contact support. Please tell me what to do because I used this location at my work.

Phew, good. I will make this clear in our docs: https://aka.ms/vscode-windows-unc
Had the same issue. Always added \\ServerName\Folder and not just ServerName\Folder.
The Diskussion helped me to a lot. Thanks!
God, Thanks it works. In security.allowedUNCHosts I had \name and not just the name. That worked. I thought I need to place a path \name or \name\folder there. It’s just name. Thanks. Maybe in this Allowed UNC Host setting in UI give not only link but example what to enter e.g. localhost or something like that. Thank you for you assistance.
@Leonidas300 I am trying to reproduce and see no issue so far.
Here is my workspace file:
When I open the workspace at first, I see an exclamation mark:
Then I am configuring
localhostto be allowed and restart and the folder shows its files:Specifically the value of the setting copied as JSON is:
Are you doing anything different?
