visual studio code auto format stopped working

Here you’ll see a folder titled “11.0” (the VS 2012 folder) and probably also “10.0” (the VS 2010 folder).ĭELETE (or rename) the “10.0” folder. If you weren’t, go to the “Roaming” folder.

Open the start menu and type “%AppData%” and press enter to get to your Application Data Folder.Įither you were automatically placed in the “Roaming” folder or you weren’t.

If your Intellisense is anything but intelligent, and has stopped working, do the following:

Maybe a hotfix will come out eventually to fix this issue. You don’t have to uninstall either of them, but if you open a solution in them it seems you’ll re-break Visual Studio 2012. Note that for this fix to work, you have to abandon Visual Studio 2010 or 11 PERMANENTLY. So, after a ton of screwing around and guess-and-check, here’s how I solved it. Strangely, I did not find the “correct” aka permanent solution to this problem. I thought to myself “what the hell Visual Studio? 2010 didn’t have these problems?!” and then, after a swig of beer, proceeded to exercise my Google-Fu to solve this issue. The very first thing I noticed was that after about 10 minutes of programming my Intellisense quit working and never came back. I recently upgraded my home PC from Visual Studio 2010 and 11 Beta to Visual Studio 2012. So, this post is about our beloved IDE instead of actual code.
