Body

I'm wondering if anything changed with copilot or I need to change something? I was on vacation and after coming back I also needed to reformat my PC, after installing Windows I reintalled VS Studio and proceeded to use the github copilot chat.

Before I was able to ask it generic questions like how to do X in C# or other generic question and the chat would answer.

Now after coming back the chat is very nasty and keeps telling me stuff such as:

To ensure I provide the most accurate and helpful answers, it's important to note that Visual Studio doesn't automatically include context with your questions. However, you can enhance the quality of the answers by using # to reference specific files, line ranges within files, or errors. This can be done by typing # to open a completion list or by explicitly selecting code and then asking a question. Here are a couple of reworded questions utilizing the references you can use

It does it even when I ask something that shouldn't require any file context whatsoever, such as about EF Core migrations.

Did anything change or I need to change some settings?
