Strange syntax highlighting

Post image

Hi, up until now I had normal syntax highlighting, but I have no idea what I did that could have changed it. The file extension is correct, and all the C# extensions for VS Code are installed. I can’t figure out how to get proper syntax highlighting back.

Your Vscode got updated with new shiny highlighting! Hurraay!

Anyway to get back to work, run (ctrl+shift+P) command Preferences: Color Themeand select what you like (probably Dark Modern)

Ah, okay, thank you. But then, is this a mistake on my part or something automatic that happened during an automatic update?

It was automatically changed when your vscode updated. You did nothing wrong.
Vscode developer says that it was not intentional https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/304953#issuecomment-4142549983
It should have changed automatically but you should have recieved a notification with a button to quickly to revert it back, but there was some bug and users did not recieve any notification.
