Since a month ago, my VS doesn't seem to want to display the summary info in tooltips for any system methods or classes when I hover them with my mouse.
I had ReSharper installed and started noticing this problem. I assumed that ReSharper disabled the default method descriptions, so I wasn't thinking much further about it, only considering it a mere annoyance.
After removing ReSharper though, the problem persisted.
VS now only shows descriptions for my own methods which I've added a <summary> tag for and any descriptions from NuGet packages, but not system methods like Where, Encoding.GetString, etc.
I've tried repairing VS, resetting settings, un-/checking checkboxes in Options > Text Editor > General, but to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem?

The suggestion list of Basic completion appears when you press the default Visual Studio IntelliSense shortcut Ctrl+Space . If necessary, you can always return to the Visual Studio's native's IntelliSense. To do so, select Visual Studio on the Environment | IntelliSense | General page of ReSharper options ( Alt+R, O ).
I would try: In Visual Studio 2015, go to 'Tools | Options | Text Editor | C# | General both "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" should be checked. If that doesn't work I would try to disable ReSharper in VS2013 and try to get the normal intellisense working.
This looks more like a framework issue rather that a VS/R# issue. If neither one of them can load the description strings, it probably means the description XML files are missing.
Check if you see the XML files in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5.2
If you don't, then reinstall the framework to fix the issue.

Try to activate the 'Statement completion' checkboxes in Options > Text Editor > All Languages > General as in the following screenshot:
