Automatic and Manual Updates

• Mar 24, 2026

CodeRush updates ship every month, and the latest version of CodeRush is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace. The update contains new CodeRush features and bug fixes.

Automatic Update

When a new CodeRush version is available in Visual Studio Marketplace, Visual Studio automatically updates the extensions to the latest release. CodeRush uses a built-in Visual Studio Marketplace mechanism for automatic updates, which is enabled by default in Visual Studio for all extensions.

Manual Update

You can manually update the CodeRush extension if the automatic update functionality is disabled.

1. Run Visual Studio.

2. Open the Extensions | Manage Extensions… dialog.

3. Expand the Updates section, select the “CodeRush for VS 2022 and 2026” item and click Update.

4. Close the Visual Studio instance you want to update window.

5. Click Modify in the invoked VSIX installer.

6. Click Close to close the installer after the CodeRush update is complete.

7. Run Visual Studio.
