Intellisense in VS17 stops working

Intellisense in VS17 stops working until I move the solution to another folder.  Then when I restart VS17 it works again.
Any suggestion on what's going on?

Sounds like a VS bug. Which vs 2017 version are you using?

By the way closing the solution deleting the .vs folder will probably have the same affect as moving.

You do need to keep the project name, folder name and an .ino name the same. They must match or visual micro will stop providing intellisense instructions to vs.

Version 15.8.9

I tried that along with: deleting %appdata% vs folders and resetting VS settings to default.   For now I randomly move my project folder around everytime it starts to happent. Huh

I've never heard of this happening in vs and I have been doing this for nearly 10 years. 

Next time it happens please grab a screen of the entire ide ensuring the solution explorer is open.

Thanks
