I tried to disable Intellisense from Visual Studio 2019 Option, but it will restart every time I build the project, the bottom left background task animation shows Intellisense is running.

Are there any way to completely remove it? For example, rename a certain dll? Thanks.

How did you try to disable the IDE intellisense?

The normal method is to simply set:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Database = True

if this setting is being reset when you restart the IDE then we have a separate problem, and I would suggest a reboot, to make sure nothing is interfering with the IDE's ability to save out a change to its settings.

I disable intellisense by setting

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Intellisense = True

After I tried your method by setting "Disable Database" instead, the problem disappeared. Thank you very much!

I suspect that Disable Intellisense disables the IDE listboxes, but still leaves the IDE parser running in the background.

Do you mean that after setting:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Database = True

the IDE intellisense parser still seems to be active?

If so, can you please check that this setting is still set? How many instances of the IDE do you have open?

Yes, after setting "Disable Database = True", the IDE intellisense parser will stop, but will restart in several minutes.

The setting is still set and I open only one instance of the IDE.

In my opinion, this is completely Visual Studio's problem and has nothing to do with Visual Assist. I just don't want both parsers(Visual Studio and Visual Assist) work at the same time and hope there are some hacks, f.e. rename a certain dll to disable Intellisense?

I have never seen the IDE ignore this setting before. Its not uncommon for our users to disable the IDE intellisense parser, to avoid exactly this situation that you are seeing.

If you look in the directory where your solutions SLN file lives, you should see a ".vs" sub-directory. With the IDE closed can you try removing this sub-directory, then load your solution, and see if it gets recreated? I am trying to confirm that the problem is the IDE intellisense database, and not something else.

Sir, after I deleted the .vs directory, the Intellisense did not restart anymore (at least 45 min passed and dozens project rebuild)! Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you for the update, I am glad this helped. I am not sure why you needed to delete this directory though, for me turning off the IDE database has always been sufficient.
