Visual Studio 2017 Intellisense not working for CUDA (.cu Files)

I cannot get Intellisense to work on any of my .cu files (CUDA files). I tried the methods discussed in this question and here and so now I am wondering if anyone can help me solve this issue.

So far, I have added .cu to the known extensions list and $(CUDA_INC_PATH) to the list of included directories, but still all .cu files look like this:

CUDA files compile and run fine of course, but its just Intellisense that does not work on .cu files. Intellisense seems to be fine with extensions of other languages.

So I could not really find what the issue was and ended up updating my Visual Studio to VS2019 Professional with CUDA 11.2 and only then the issue was resolved.

My environment:

CUDA 11.2 Update 2

Visual Studio 2017 Community 15.9.31

It works well in my side. Make sure that your VS2017 has installed C++ workload.

So please try the following steps:

1) disable any other third party extensions under Tools-->Extensions and Updates-->Installed

2) close VS, delete all files under C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_xxx\ComponentModelCache

Then, restart VS to test again.

Further, you could rename the whole C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_xxx folder to another name like vs2017(which is more like a delete operation and the new vs2017 folder is a backup ) or just delete the folder and then re-login into VS.

3) repair VS2017 or just update it to the latest version.

4) install the latest CUDA 11.2 version and then try the step 2 to test again.
