Visual Studio 2010 intellisense stopped working

I've got a small problem with the VS2010. I installed Resharper and soon after my installation period has expired, My Visual Studio 2010 Intellisense stopped working. Its very hard to work without Intellisense. It doesn't even show the member properties even . I tried doing devenv.exe /ResetSettings and I end up with an error saying:

it is not recognised as a internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

My solution

I don't know how people are solving this but I just solved my above problem by resetting the Vs settings. Tools-->Import ExportSettings-->selecting the reset all settings and following the wizard .

By doing this of course I lost the little settings I made just like adding line numbers and stuff, but I did that again.

Not sure if this is the ideal solution for people looking for an answer, but just helped me to get the Intellisense in the first place which I was actually looking for.

Why is Visual Studio IntelliSense not working?

If IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2019 stopped working, the issue could be related to NuGet. In this case, to resolve the issue, just delete the contents of the packages folder. Close all instances of Visual Studio 2019.

How do I turn my IntelliSense back on?

You can enable or disable particular IntelliSense features in the Options dialog box, under Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced.

How do I restart IntelliSense Visual Studio?

For Visual Studio 2017 (and I think Visual Studio 2019 also), close Visual Studio, go into the . vs folder in your projects folder and delete all the contents apart from the . suo file, then reopen Visual Studio. This way you can rebuild the Intellisense cache without losing your preferences.

How do I fix my IntelliSense code in Visual Studio?

Troubleshooting# If you find IntelliSense has stopped working, the language service may not be running. Try restarting VS Code and this should solve the issue. If you are still missing IntelliSense features after installing a language extension, open an issue in the repository of the language extension.

In Visual Studio select Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages. Ensure that the checkboxes in the Statement Completion section are actively checked (not grayed out).

For risk of sounding like tech support:

Reboot your machine and check if Intellisense is back, else try devenv /ResetSettings again.
