Speeding up Intellisense on VS2015

You can use precompiled headers, it wont make it instant but should take ~1 second tops.

To do this:

  1. Open your .sln

  2. Project → ProjectName Properties

  3. Select either All Configurations or the ones you want to use

  4. Configuration Properties → NMake → Additional Options

  5. Enter: /Yu and press OK or Apply.

  6. Wait until the ‘working’ symbol goes away, the intellisense should be much faster now.
