This extension makes the problem impossible to miss and one click to fix.

Commands

Description
GHCP Telemetry Status: Open Telemetry Setting
Opens Settings filtered to telemetry.telemetryLevel
GHCP Telemetry Status: Fix Telemetry (Set to All)
Directly sets telemetry.telemetryLevel to all
Why this matters
GHCP requires telemetry.telemetryLevel = all to function correctly.
VS Code updates can reset the setting to off.
New VS Code installations default to a value other than all.
This extension monitors the setting on every startup and in real time, so you always know.
Usage
Install the extension.
If telemetry is not all, you'll see a warning notification with Fix Now.
Check the Activity Bar signal icon or Status Bar at any time.
Use Command Palette → Fix Telemetry (Set to All) for a quick fix.
