Can't get Unity intellisense to work in Visual Studio 2019 windows 10 using C#

Question

When I open a C# script inside Unity Visual Studio does open and I can write/edit the scripts. However, there is no intellisense for Unity. When I type in a Unity object/class there is no suggested/available methods/variables that pop up.

Thanks for any help :)

If anyone else has this problem I found the solution - in Unity: Edit -> Preferences -> External Tools -> External scripts editor = Visual Studio 2019

Thanks, I had the same problem and when I checked the preferences I had "open by file extension" instead of "Visual Studio 2019". When I switched to VS it worked.

Cheers.

I'm really frustrated. VS 2019 Intellisense worked for me without problems for a log time, this morning it just stopped. Nothing helps, tried numerous advices I googled. It happened once before. At that time I found out that I needed to update Visual Studio Package inside Unity. I did it and it worked then. Now when I look at this package, it's 'up to date', so I can't update it or anything. Tried to 'Unload/Reload' solution in VS as other people recommended, but it didn't help either.
Probably will switch to paid Rider ..
