Visual studio 2017 not highlighting in completion mode

so i just moved to visual studio 2017 from 2013, and i have a rather annoying issue. so i have the following line of code:

device.Database = new Database();

my next line of code is 

device.Database.Initiate();

in visual studio 2013 i simply start to write device. and then intellisense will autocomplete and highlight the Database and all i will need to do is simply press enter. however in 2017, this is not the case- it shows me the Database member but i need to press the down key or 'd' to highlight it and only then i can press enter, that's very frustrating to me. anyone has a clue on how to resolve this?

i tried playing with the Toggle Completion mode option, but this affects only the start of the line (the 'device' member).

thanks.enter image description here

I don't have any special extensions or settings for the editor except linter, couple of themes and autocomplete for JS libraries. Just go to: File -> Preferences -> Settings and click on suggestions in the dropdown panel on the left. What you are looking for may be: "Accept suggestions on Enter" and set it to "on" option.

If the above doesn't work I recommend to uninstall VS Code, remove ALL VS Code files from the drive and install fresh copy. I have VS on all my PC's and autocomplete works as in your old editor case (just by pressing enter or tab).

Best!
