Why is VS Code showing "windll Windows only: Creates ()" intellisense suggestions?

Viewed 345

While writing Python code on VS Code, it is showing suggestions like:

windll Windows only: Creates ()

I have tried to see if this was coming from snippet extension I might have installed but I don't think I have any... can anyone shine a light on why I am getting his code completion nonsense?

I had this same issue, every time :, ., def, or if is typed, there's annoying suggestions that don't make sense. I found out it's the Python Extended extension that's responsible for this. It seems to be reported on it's GitHub issues page, but for now I would disable the extension as it doesn't seem to be working at all for me. I recommend PyLance as a replacement.

It's the extension problem. You have installed the extension named: Python Extended inside your vs code and you will need to uninstall it. It works well on my editor after uninstalling this extension.
