Visual Studio Code disable auto closing tags

Question

I'm on the edge of desperation...

{
    "html.autoClosingTags": false,
}

What else must be done to make those dreadful auto-closing tags go away?

I've searched the internet, and this really bothers me way more than it should. I apologize if this seems like a non-serious question but I'm willing to try anything and everything at this point.

Open Visual Studio Code, go to Preferences -> Settings

Under the User Settings tab, click Text Editor, and search for the setting Auto Closing Brackets. Set to never.
