Everytime a project came up it would come up with everything underlined in red and dozens of bogus error in the Error List. Tried Solution 6 here, but there WAS no"Edit > IntelliSense > Refresh Local Cache" in VS2022. Just toggled "Edit> Intellisense> Switch between..." and it turned out that was enough!

Enable "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Information" worked great for me on vs community 2019. Cheers.

I'm working with VS 2019 16.0.2 and an ASP.NET Projekt - Updating the Microsoft.Net.Compliers from V1.0.0 to V3.0.0 worked for me. Details how to update you can find here: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/505489/cannot-navigate-to-the-symbol-under-the-caret-3.html (referenced from: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/515163/visual-studio-2019-intellisense-not-working.html)

Thanks for the post. VS Community 2015 lost intellisense once I licensed it using my Microsoft account. Following the steps in solution 1 fixed it. Finding the easy solutions is harder then the tough ones sometimes.
