	I had a horrible time trying to figure out why I could not get Visual Micro to do proper syntax highlighting on a specific computer, when it was working fine elsewhere. Turns out it was self-inflicted. I have an entire blog post that discusses some of the tips and traps of Visual Studio. This particular issue with syntax highlighting was caused when I turned on file system case sensitivity to address a problem in WSL that I was encountering for files on the Windows filesystem. See this blog for more details on per-directory case sensitivity. to check for case sensitivity: Code fsutil.exe file queryCaseSensitiveInfo c:\workspace\ to disable case sensitivity Code fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo c:\workspace\ disable Note that I needed to turn off case sensitivity on the parent directory to get syntax highlighting to work properly in my project directory. Hopefully this will help someone else and avoid the amount of time it took me to figure this out.
