How to disable keyword / text suggestion in Spyder 4?

Specifically this popup box:

enter image description here

It appears almost every time I type anything, and it's kind of getting in the way.

I have disabled code completion in the settings, and uninstalled Kite, and disabled Jedi. Any ideas?

How do I turn on suggestions on Spyder?

To do so, open Spyder's preferences, click on "Completion and linting" on the left hand side, and under the "Completion" tab, make the following changes: Ensure that "Enable code completion" is checked. Ensure that "Show completions on the fly" is checked. Ensure that "Enable code snippets" is checked.

Does Spyder have intellisense?

(Spyder maintainer here) Unfortunately, Spyder can't provide code completion for all Python objects. This is not a failure in Spyder but a limitation in Python, due to its dynamic nature. Sorry.

(Spyder maintainer here) To disable those completions (called fallback completions) in Spyder 5, you need to go to

Tools > Preferences > Completion and Linting > General

and deactivate the option called Enable Fallback provider.

For Spyder 4, please go to

Tools > Preferences > Completion and Linting > Advanced

and deactivate the option called Enable fallback completions.
