Hi,
Recently I formatted my entire drive and had to reinstall everything from scratch. I decided to go with VS2017 as I had better experience with it compared to 2019.
The Problem now i face is I am not getting even a slightest auto-complete or error detecting My entire new Project code is feels like its Grey and I would be better off using a notepad.
Here is Screen shot of my .cpp file, there is also an error at the top maybe that is the problem.
It definitely works. I’d make sure you didn’t turn off Intellisense somehow. Or, better yet, grab Visual Assist and skip all the Intellisense non-sense to begin with.
Yes, it defiantly works. I personally use Visual Assist as it is much much faster and responsive than VS’s built in intellisense, but even when I turn it off in 2017 I have it working. It could be still parsing everything for UE4, if it is the first boot up it could take a while. Also “Dumb IT advice” time. Make sure UE4 is installed, and make sure you have all the things you need installed for it (Launch button arrow and options)
I used to have VS assist, Might get it again as well, but as long as I can remember even without Visual Assist X I used to get Some Auto Complete and I remember correctly that PlayerInputComponent always used to give false positive (Its not even giving that now).
All I get is a small msg in .Cpp file saying “There are too many errors for the IntelliSense engine to function properly”.
I have setup my VS as documented in the UE4 docs. This is my new Freshly installed window in the older one I had first 2017, then upgraded to 2019 and I had no problems, some months even used Visual Assist.

I Tried to Rebuild the Solution and I get this, it seems there is something wrong.
EDIT: Nevermind It fails to Rebuild becuase Editor is running, anyway closed the Editor and Rebuilt and Problem still exists.
I have the same. Look at the red squiggly lines in the first line. It will tell you that there are too many errors for Intellisense to work. But I do not know how to solve that. The code itself compiles fine.
I am on VS 2019 and UE 4.25
