I use GitHub Copilot Code Review in Visual Studio, it generates some comments but they cannot be viewed.
In Visual Studio, in the Git Changes panel, I click on the chat icon above my staged changes. It works for a minute and then displays a message that looks like a link "3 Copilot review comments".
When I click on that link, nothing happens.
I have the same issue on the latest versions of Visual Studio 2019, 2022 and 2026 Insider.
Every time I click the chat icon, it uses one of my limited premium requests, but I don't ever get the result.
In VS Code, clicking the link opens the comment inside the changed document. The comments can also be viewed in a 'Comments' tab next to the 'Terminal'.
(Side issue: I wanted to report this issue using Report a Problem inside Visual Studio, but I keep getting an error "WebSocket connection closed". This also happens on all 3 versions of Visual Studio)

Hi,
I'm so sorry to hear that you have an issue with GitHub Copilot. You can try some of these possible solutions below:
1.Try clearing and re-authenticating Sign out of your GitHub account in Visual Studio, and sign back in making sure the account has Copilot access. GitHub Docs
Close Visual Studio entirely, restart, then trigger a new code review to see if the comments link now opens.
2.If you have multiple Visual Studio versions installed (e.g., 2019, 2022, 2026 Insider) the extension or cache may get confused. Consider uninstalling the Copilot extension, deleting any local Copilot cache folders (e.g., under %LocalAppData%\GitHubCopilot, %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio<version>), then reinstall. GitHub
3.Use only one Visual Studio version temporarily If you currently have both stable and Insider installed, try uninstalling the Insider (or the stable) so only one remains. Sometimes the extension hooks get mixed between versions and the UI fails to load properly. A user reported exactly that scenario. GitHub
4.Network, proxy or firewall interference
Since Copilot Code Review may call out to GitHub services, make sure your network/proxy/firewall is not blocking or filtering the calls. Some corporate networks may block the endpoints used by Copilot. Temporary turn it off and try again.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks for your suggestions, I appreciate your quick response.
I found this issue reported on the VS community: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/The-Review-changes-with-Copilot-is-not/10936746?q=copilot+review
Hi Y F,
Have you been able to resolve this issue? A new version of Visual Studio has been released. Please update to the latest version and check if that resolves the problem. In the meantime, I’m here to assist you with anything you need.
Hi @Leon Tran (WICLOUD CORPORATION)
No.
I updated Visual Studio Community 2022 to the latest version 17.14.21 I also updated Visual Studio Community 2026 Insiders to the latest version 11222.16
After staging a bunch of changes in a multi-repository project, I clicked the Code Review icon, it displayed a link “4 Copilot review comments”, clicking that link does nothing.
I also read through the release notes for those latest releases and nothing mentions such a fix.
I reported this on the supposed fix on the reported issue
Hi Y F,
I can see that you’ve reported an issue that was not resolved by the recent update. Your feedback is valuable, and our team will use it to help address the problem.
In the meantime, you can help me by testing whether the issue comes from GitHub or if it’s simply a UI bug in Visual Studio.
You can refer to this document to verify if GitHub Copilot code review is functioning correctly. If the GitHub comments continue to appear on the web, it indicates a problem with Visual Studio. Otherwise, it is likely just a UI bug, and the additional details you’ve provided will help us resolve the case more effectively.

It is certainly a Visual Studio UI bug. As reported, it works fine in Visual Studio Code.
The current question is filed under Visual Studio, not GitHub.
