An extension I had tried in Visual-Studio code appears to have disabled C/C++ intellisense. It can't be turned on again. Modifying the setting in the settings dialog has no effect [evidence: switch source/header leads to a pop up message stating C_CPP.intellisense is set to disabled.].
Spent now several hours on this, the setting even survives uninstalling the software, purging all (known) vs-code related directories or starting a thermonuclear war.
I am getting a bit desperate here. Here are my questions:
- Is there a way to wipe everything (short of reinstalling the entire machine)?
- Where is the authoritative setting for C-CPP.intellisense? Entry occurs in several locations (User/Remote/....). Is there a priority?
- What other mechanisms could interfere with this setting?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
