How can I disable IntelliSense context-aware code completions?

Starting with Visual Studio 2019, IntelliSense provides some kind of "favorites" above the list of available completions, tagged with a asterisk.

I feel these favorites are very annoying. They are disturbing my cognitive workflow when I'm searching for items alphabetically.

I couldn't find an option in Tools > Options to disable these context-aware code completions.

How can I disable these context-aware code completions?

    The ★ function is from the vs extension called Visual Studio IntelliCode.

    If you want to disable this, you could enter Extensions-->Installed and then disable that extension:

    Then, restart VS and you will not see that.

    Besides, if you want to disable Intellisense automatic completion function, you could click Edit-->Intellisense--> Toggle Completion Mode.

    In addition, if you want to disable that Intellisense completion pop-up box, please enter Tools-->Options-->Text Editor-->c#-->General--> uncheck Auto list members option
