  <p>I needed to help update the dev tools on a laptop (Win8.1). VSCode and GIT versions are identical but I can't see the GIT status in the Explorer.  </p>

  <p>GIT is definitly working on the laptop; I can clearly see the files statuses in the SCM UI, but I'm missing these in the Explorer.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some old config on the laptop that might be affecting this or is there a setting I'm just missing?</p>
