How do I disable Visual Studio Code auto save

Visual Studio Code does not automatically save code by default, but it offers several auto-save options, such as automatically saving when switching editors or windows. If you do not want to use these features or want to ensure they are not enabled, follow these steps:

1. Open Visual Studio Code.
2. In the menu bar, select 'Tools'.
3. In the dropdown menu, select 'Options'.
4. In the 'Options' window, navigate to the 'Documents' section under 'Environment'.
5. Here, you can view and modify various settings related to document saving.
6. If you see any options similar to 'Auto-save' or 'Save documents as they lose focus' that are checked, uncheck them.
7. Click 'OK' to apply the changes.

For example, if you are working on a project requiring real-time collaboration and you do not want auto-save to trigger when switching windows (as it might cause compilation or other automated tasks), follow the above steps to disable auto-save. This way, you can control when to save your code, ensuring your workflow is not interrupted by unintended saves.
