Hi It's Kenneth from VS Code.

We have looked into this, and haven't found an intentional change that should change your opt-out settings. This shouldn't happen.

We have two theories:

1) Your settings file was deleted, which means that you would have lost all of your settings, and not just the telemetry setting. This can happen if the AppData or ~/Library/Application Support was cleaned up.

2) One of your installed extensions updated the settings either accidentally or on purpose. This would require further debugging, and a list of your installed extensions.

To help debug this further, it would be great help if you could open an issue on Github, https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/, with more details about your OS, VS Code version and installed extensions, so we can figure out what happened.

Thanks!
