I have observed this issue in Mac OS also. Do you know of any workaround?
Furthermore, this is causing the below error message for hitherto correctly working YAML files.
Problems loading reference 'schemaservice:/path/to/schema.json': Unable to load schema from 'schemaservice:/path/to/schema.json': No content.YAML(768)

Are these two issues related?

[JPinkney]

Those issues don't seem to be related. Please file a new issue for that

I can also confirm it on windows 10.
I suspect it is because I also have the XML extension from redhat, and they are using the same setting.

I also had this problem and after doing a few checks found that as @marsfan suggested it is being caused by the Red Hat XML having the same preference setting for telemetry. When XML is installed the YAML setting collides with it and triggers the warning[warning] [redhat.vscode-xml]: Cannot register 'redhat.telemetry.enabled'

I would consider it a minor bug if regardless of if XML or YAML set it it is still honoured by both. Yet I'm not sure if this is the case. It is somewhat more serious if the issue is causes one or the other to keep sending telemetry information when this should not (legally) happen. It might be worth fixing so as to reduce concerns it may not be behaving correctly.

[prettyv]

@AlanCarlyle To my understanding there is no reason why the setting wouldn't be honored by all extensions declaring and reading this setting equally regardless of which extension "won" the race to register the setting at startup. So this is I think mostly a cosmetic issue in that sense, but I also feel like the affected extensions should just use VS Code's preexisting global telemetry toggle and opened an issue in the shared telemetry library over here.

I'm also having this issue with:

I also have XML extension installed, and my telemetry option is set in user settings.

Since no one has linked to the core issue where this was discussed, I'll go ahead and do that:

microsoft/vscode#124662

It seems there's no way to hide the warning as of now. We might try to push for further enhancements in this regard.

[robstryker]

Are any of you all actually seeing a popup with this? Or are you just seeing it in your logs somewhere?

[marsfan]

@robstryker Its been a while, but I do remember seeing an actual popup in the bottom right corner of my window.

[ssbarnea]

I am bit confused by the fact that this ticket still has the upstream label, but the linked item was closed and locked in 2021. Still, I see warnings in the logs as of today:

2024-08-01 18:04:55.632 [warning] [redhat.vscode-commons]: Cannot register 'redhat.telemetry.enabled'. This property is already registered.
2024-08-01 18:04:55.632 [warning] [redhat.vscode-yaml]: Cannot register 'redhat.telemetry.enabled'. This property is already registered.

Can we do something to address these?
