If your filter settings exclude everything currently in your workspace, you'll get \u201cno results\u201d. ([code2020.dev](https://code2020.dev/filtering-in-the-problems-view/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Common filter types\n\n1. **Severity filters**: toggles/buttons in the Problems panel to turn *Errors*, *Warnings*, *Info* on/off.  \n2. **Text or message filters**: search box where you type keywords\u2014only problems that match are shown. You can also use negation in newer versions (e.g. **`!foo`**) to hide messages containing `foo`. ([stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59326920/how-can-i-filter-out-problems-in-vs-code-based-on-text?utm_source=openai))  \n3. **File or path filters (globs)**: patterns like `*.ts`, `src/*`, `!node_modules/*` to include or exclude certain files. ([code2020.dev](https://code2020.dev/filtering-in-the-problems-view/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n## Why you're seeing \u201cno results\u201d\n\nThis means your current filters (severity, text, file path) are too restrictive\u2014all problems are being filtered out. For example:\n\n- You have *Errors* off, so only warnings/info remain\u2014but maybe there are none.  \n- Your text filter is set to something that none of the current problems contain.  \n- You\u2019ve excluded everything by file path (e.g. `!*.js`).  \n\n---\n\n## How to clear or reset these filters\n\nHere are the different ways to reset filters so problems show up again.\n\n| Action | What to do |\n|---|---|\n| **Clear text filter** | Click into the search box at top of the Problems panel and delete any text there. Press **Enter** or move focus away. |\n| **Reset severity filters** | Look for toggle buttons in the Problems panel (often at the top-right) for *Errors*, *Warnings*, *Info*. Make sure the ones you want are turned on. |\n| **Reset file/path filters** | Click the *gear/filter icon* near the filter/search box in the Problems panel. From there, clear included or excluded path patterns. Remove any leading `!\u2026` patterns unless you want exclusion. ([code2020.dev](https://code2020.dev/filtering-in-the-problems-view/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Toggle excluded files** | In filter dropdown, there\u2019s often an option like \"**Hide Excluded Files**\" or \"**Show Excluded Files**\". Toggling this lets you see issues in paths you\u2019ve excluded via `files.exclude`. ([stackoverflow.com](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53750569/how-can-i-filter-out-problems-in-excluded-files-from-the-problems-panel-in-vs-co?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can send you exact steps with instructions and visual screenshots, based on your version of VS Code. Do you want that?"
