Emmet is a powerful extension in Visual Studio Code. If you are developing a website or working with any language such as HTML, Emmet helps you to write your code fast and efficiently without making silly mistakes.
But sometimes, while updating VS Code, the VS Code loses the file associations or Emmet stops working for some reason. I encountered the similar problem after I updated my VS Code. I was not able to use Emmet and it seemed annoying to me because I didn’t want to write whole html starter templates while working on website development. So I started finding out the solution and figured out how to fix that.
Step 1: Start your VS Code. Click on the Settings or press Ctrl+, to open the VS Code Settings.
Step 2: Click on the Extensions tab on the left side of the settings. Click on HTML.
Step 3: Click on the “Edit in settings:json” hyperlink to edit the settings in JSON format.
Step 4: Inside the curly braces, enter the following code under the already written JSON code:
“emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab”: true,
“files.associations”: {“*html”: “html”},
"emmet.useInlineCompletions": true
Step 5: Save the file. Now if you try to apply Emmet in your code, it will work smoothly!!
That’s how I fixed this Emmet not working problem which I encountered when I updated VS Code. I hope this solution may be helpful for you as well and serves the purpose.

Thanks. It worked flawlessly.
You're Welcome Ram!! 😀
You can also turn on this setting via VS settings without editing the .json file
And here is where you do that: dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/up...

As you can see
" "
(the quotes) that you have copied are different from the others in settings.json. So you remove the copied quotes and type them again.Place a
,
(comma) at the end on line 19. This will separate line 19 from line 20.Hope that helps!! 😀
Can u explain me 1 point 🙄🙄
main 5 dino se kosis kr rha lekin nhi ho rhaa mere se utube bhi dekha vha bhi sb yhi bol rhe ki
“emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab”: true,
“files.associations”: {“*html”: “html”},
isko copy kar le ho jayega but jab main kar rha to red ho jaa rha
Dhyan se dekho jo tumne copy kia hai uske quotes different hain. Tum sirf ek kaam kro, jo tumne copy kia hai uske quotes ko delete kro aur apne se firse lga lo.
bhaiya kaha glt hai mujhe to dikh hi nhi rhaa jo red me show ho rha oo maine shi likha hua hai aap kiska baat kar rhe ho
Quotes (" ") bdlo bas, baki sab sahi hai.
ab ye light blue ho gya
bhaiya abhi bhi kaam n kar rhaa ab to sb kar dala lagg rha mera me hi unique error hai
Settings.json me apni line 18 me ye code daalo:
"files.associations": {
"*html": "html",
"*.html": "html"
}
kuch nhi huaa
Line 23 wali file associations delete krdo. wo puri line delete krdo.
bhaiya nhi ho rha agar aap dhyn se dekhe to 17 aur 22 ka text color baki sb sr different hai mujhe lagg rha isi karn se nhi ho rha.
hello bhaiya nhi ho rhaa abhi bhi
Reinstall krke dekho vs code.
Thank You Arora! it's working.
