Microsoft's Live Server addon is no longer a tick-able option in the status bar right click menu, and only shows up as the "Port:3000" after I start the server using CtrlShiftP. My guess is that either an update or the Live Server (Five Server) extension I installed afterwards may have botched some JSON settings lines.
Status bar screenshots:
Tried reinstalling VSCode, reinstalling the extension, tried both pre-release and release versions AND older versions (newer versions don't even want to start the server at all anymore, right now it only works on a version from 3 months ago).
