Turning off auto-suggestions in Visual Studio 2019 without turning off IntelliSense

Question

I am new to Visual Studio and would like to disable the IntelliSense automatic suggestions without disabling IntelliSense entirely. More precisely, I don't want popup hints continually covering the code I'm working on, but I'd still like to be able to use Ctrl-Space to request suggestions at times. I'm coding in C/C++.

I've seen information on how to do this for Visual Studio Code, but I haven't found anything similar for Visual Studio.

Or if this is just a matter of me not understanding how to properly use Visual Studio or IntelliSense, please help me understand or point me to a forum where true Microsoft devotees hang out.

Answer 1

The solution is to go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General and uncheck Auto list members.

Solution

Edit Menu-->Intellisense-->click Toggle Completion Mode
