Update TypeScript to v5.9

C# / VB / Typescript

Hi,

I used MS documentation to try update the tsc compiler to v5.9 which is 10x faster using npm bit its still stuck at v5.6.2. Please advise.

Hi @User2025, the TypeScript version comes from what you have installed locally or globally with npm. To move to v5.9, update with npm install --save-dev typescript@5.9 in your project (recommended), or npm install -g typescript@5.9 if you want it system-wide, then confirm with npx tsc -v. If VS Code still shows 5.6.2, switch it to use the workspace version via Command Palette → “TypeScript: Select TypeScript Version” → “Use Workspace Version.” More details here: TypeScript - Installing. (How to set up TypeScript)

We’re like the Hotel California that way.

But seriously, why would you want to?

But really seriously, if you’re talking about the community forums, just click on the notifications & account icon/photo, then the person silhouette icon that appears at the bottom and you can log out with the bottom menu popup.
