I'm coding in C++ using Visual Studio Code but IntelliSense doesn't seem to work, I've downloaded the extension and used the IntelliSense reset command but it still refuses to work. What should I do?

  • I assume you mean Visual Studio Code. Although when I tried to edit your title it said there already exists a question with the exact same title. Commented Oct 8, 2018 at 11:47
  • Yea visual studio code :) Commented Oct 8, 2018 at 11:50
  • Have you gone through their docs? code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense Commented Oct 8, 2018 at 11:58
  • Yes, I still dont know what to do, I have "intelliSenseMode": "msvc-x64" Commented Oct 8, 2018 at 12:18
  • If you mean the engine, check if "Intelli Sense Engine" is set to "Default" (the alternatives beeing: "Tag Parser" or "Disabled"). Commented Oct 8, 2018 at 13:21

Once you have downloaded and installed the extension from here, you will have to reload VS, then go to extensions (ctrl+Shift+X) and verify that the extension is enabled:

Extension should look like in this picture

Just after that, once you create a c++ file (.cpp) intellisense should be enabled as you can see here:

Okay so it seems like I somehow had 2 different versions of intellisense installed at the same time, I disabled one of them and its working fine now.

Another point worth checking is that C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine is set to default in the settings.json fileenter image description here
