VS 2022/VS Code - Code Suggestions are missing [5.2.1]

So im trying to do more with C++ and i had VS 2019 but intellisense wasnt giving me any code suggestions or auto-completion like it has before or that ive seen in tuts on youtube. even following setup like the docs/tuts say i have no code suggestions. ive tried both 2019 and 2022 versions as well as VS Code as well. and im at a lose as to why im not getting anyhting showing up. if it does show up i only get basic suggestions and no auto-complete pop up. Has anyone had issues like this and found a solution?
