    I recently made a change to my Intellisense directories and it ended up completely breaking my Intellisense until I restarted VS.

    My directories for my project basically looked like this:

    – /usr/include/c++/4.8.5

    – /usr/include

    – /usr/include/boost-1.68.0

    (etc.)

    – /usr/include/myprogram1-1.0.27

    All of these are “remote” directories.

    I changed the .27 to a .28 by using “Edit” and changing the path.  I got a popup saying “Removing directory [hostname]\blahblah\0000”.  And then it went away.  After this none of my includes could be found any more.

    I closed VS and restarted and now it’s working again.

    Known issue?

    Hi,

    The exact reason behind this would depend on the project type (e.g. Make/MSBuild/CMake), so it’s hard to say anything without knowing more details.

    Our best advice would be to try following the steps described in this tutorial to check the paths and then post the details here with a screenshot of the setting(s) that don’t look right. This should help us understand what is going on and help you get it to work.
