Visual Studio's June update brings several improvements centered on visibility and trust. The Copilot Usage window now tracks token-based consumption with real-time updates and proactive alerts as you approach billing limits. MCP servers receive a new trust validation system that checks configuration and tool fingerprints at startup, prompting users to review any changes before execution. The GitHub Copilot modernization agent for C++ reaches general availability, supporting automated or guided MSVC Build Tools upgrades. Long-distance next edit suggestions (NES) now extend across the full active file rather than just the cursor vicinity, and full-color emoji rendering is available throughout the IDE.
