C++ IntelliSense does not work with remote-SSH

I installed Remote-SSH and C/C++ extensions. VS client is on my PC (win10) and backend/remote is my linux env (centos 7) I am able to get/open the code and work perfectly in the terminal (executing any linux command) For some reason IntelliSense does not work properly on my c++ code. When I point my mouse over a variable it displays something like class::type but this is the only thing that seems to work. no name completions and other features.

I tried to look in the User and cpp configurations. everything is looked fine (all the auto-complete features are enabled)

What do I miss?

Update: when I point to local folder (I had to install again the C/C++ extension this time for the "local" side) IntelliSense works perfectly. when switch again to remote host IntelliSense still does not work.

Remote SSH has multiple "bugs" and some of them are mentioned in this post: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/5044 check if You have similar issues. This could be IntelliSense + VS Code bug.
