1.2.3. Please note down (a) the Application Insights resource name, (b) the account that you are using to sign into Azure portal. You will need to use both later.

1.3.1. Current versions of extensions were tested with Visual Studio 17.9, 17.10 and 17.11. If you are using a different version of Visual Studio and the extension is not working, please let us know.

1.3.2. Open Visual Studio and ensure you are signed in with both - your GitHub account and the account that you used to access Azure portal. You can validate on the top right corner of Visual Studio. If one account is missing, add it. Without both accounts added, the current version of the Code Optimizations extension will not work correctly.

1.3.3. Open GitHub Copilot chat using menu command View -> GitHub Copilot Chat. If it's not available and you are using Visual Studio 17.9 or older, please make sure you have installed the GitHub Copilot Chat extension using Extensions -> Manage Extensions....

where <Application_Insights_Resource_Name> is the name of the Application Insights resource. The command will pull the top issues from Code Optimizations, map them to source code in your local repo and try suggesting fixes / recommendations. It will automatically generate the first fix it's able to offer. To generate fixes for other issues, follow the instructions in the Copilot response.
