Why did my VS Code run button for Python stop working?

Asked By CreativeCoder42 On

I recently started learning programming and downloaded Python along with VS Code because I've heard it's beginner-friendly. Initially, the Python extension was working well, but now the run button has stopped functioning. Instead of running my code with a click, I have to execute it manually in the terminal. What can I do to resolve this issue?

You might need to restart VS Code to see if that resolves the issue. But if it continues to give you trouble, switching to an IDE like PyCharm, which you've already done, might actually simplify things as it often provides a more straightforward experience for beginners.

Make sure your file is saved with a `.py` extension and check if 'Python' is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of VS Code. Sometimes that can affect how the run button behaves.
