The simple extension quietly sits in the Visual Studio status bar displaying Azure DevOps Service status. You can click on the icon on the Visual Studio status bar to view more details.

By default it fetches the status every 5 minutes, but you can configure it under Tools | Options in Visual Studio.

Issue: Status icon not visible in the status bar

• Go to Tools -> Options
• Under Environment -> General category, ensure you have checked Enable rich client visual experience

Please raise a issue and I will try my best to address and fix the issue.
