Hey @Siddhant-K-code , could you reproduce it again? if yes, you can check if settings sync for Extensions enabled, it's required to store release note display state.

We can test this with our new upcoming release 🙏🏽

fyi @Siddhant-K-code for the new releases, if we open multiple workspaces in seconds, it will show multiple times too, because it needs time to sync data.

VSCode will do it automatically, but if you want to make sure it's synced, you can use quick action (press F1) Settings Sync: Sync Now

Seems to work fine now. Will re-open this, if anything looks weird.

Thanks @mustard-mh
