VSCode doesn't recognize html files

Question

After clearing system's cache, VSCode doesn't recognize html files. So, now I can see brackets icon only in htm files. Here's an example. And before clearing html files were also recognized. So, what's the matter and how can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

I'm a beginner and had the same problem (no Closing-tags, no Brackets-icons, no auto-html:5 option, and no right-click-option to "Open with Live Server").

Solution: Answer from Chidimo + Configure file association for ".html" and select HTML.

Click on Language (see print screens Sathish) for 'Select Language Mode' Then type: 'Configure file association for ".html' and select HTML. Restart VSC.

My 4 problems are solved with this solution! (Thanks to @Rick ;-))

Answer 2

I found an answer on another SO thread.

Open your settings.json file on VSCode and include this line "files.associations": {"*.html": "html"}

Answer 3

select the HTML Tag on the Bottom, it will open the modal and select the HTML in the opened modal.. it works
