Why does intellisense and code suggestion stop working when Visual Studio is open?


I have been having issues with Intellisense in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012. I will be working in a project, editing code and whatnot (after a period of time, anywhere from 5 minutes to over an hour) and all of a sudden, no more code suggestions or intellisense. Both seem to stop working completely at the same time.

The only solution that I have tried is to reset all my settings, close out of Visual Studio completely and reopen the project again. Is there a better solution or an update that will fix this?


Solution

  • I spent a lot of time researching the same problem. Some solutions related this bug with some referenced assemblies. Others said that Microsoft.Windows.Design.Extension.dll and .Interactivity.dll should be in the references of the project. But none of these solutions worked for me.

    I think it is a bug in Visual Studio 2012, Microsoft has to fix it.
