Visual Studio 2019 not suggesting UE4 Libraries - visual-studio

Visual Studio 2019 stopped to suggest Unreal Engine 4 libraries. It used to suggest the names of the heather files I could include in the "name_of_the_new_class.h" file. It used to look like this:
desired state (not my personal screen but that how it used to work), now I get this current state. I reinstalled UE4 and revalidated Visual Studio how do I solve this if that issue is even solvable?
Manually typed in header files work and it will compile and work but why IntelliSense is not suggesting me this .h files?

Using <> instead of "" works and autocompletion works again.

If I remove Visual Studio will this affect the Script files I previously did in the Unity project?

I have decided to remove Visual studio; Because it does not auto-fill for me when I write the code, so I want to know if I delete it will that will affect the previous C# files I wrote in Unity !?
I haven't deleted it yet. I also went into the program settings to solve the autofill problem but to no avail.
It will not.
Uninstalling Visual studio will not affect any project files as the uninstall program won't even know they exist.
I often have to uninstall and reinstall VS Code + VS 2022 when updates break it or I'm just quessing at issues and it has never removed my code files.
No. As long as you don't delete the script files, you should be fine.

Is there a path-autocomplete extension on Visual Studio 2017?

I used to code on Visual Studio Code. Now, i'm trying to learn how to code on Visual Studio 2017 as it will be more beneficial for me. So far, it's so good.
But there is one thing which i miss on VS which is, in VSC, there was a neat extension, called Path Intellisense which autocompleted (or showed suggestions for) ./../file style file-paths. While coding in javascript (ExpressJS to be exact) i got no suggestions for file path autocomplete. Also, i didnt get any extensions to do so.
Those dot style file paths confuse me and i would really like an extension, or a workaround, in VS to help me with that. Are there any extensions for this?
E.g.

Is it Possible to vs-15 project open from vs-13 without any error?

I am using Visual Studio 2015, but I have to show my project from Visual Studio 2013 pc, Is it harmful for solution file? or any file? Visual Studio 2015 have some extra feature, that cant's contain Visual Studio 2013. Now how can I solve it?
I want to recommend not to mix different versions of Visual Studio. Please strictly create different folders for different versions e.g . one for VS2013 and another for VS2015.
You know - different versions installed on one PC is possible.
If you really want to go one version back to show your VS2015 project in a VS2013 IDE make sure you have a backup in a safe place. You maybe warned - don't make the mistake of mixing code versions when you switch from one PC to another.
Try to open and show for your needs in your special development environment by yourself it is possible but be careful like mentioned above. Having used the highest dotnet version possible in VS2015 you'll get errors.

Visual Studio 2013 tries to load localized afxres.rc from older version

We have recently upgraded an MFC solution from Visual Studio 2005 to Visual Studio 2013 (Update 4), at last. I think the solution originates in Visual Studio 6 and was upgraded to VS2003, then VS2005. It is a Multibyte (i.e. non Unicode) solution.
We haven't had many problems, so far. In fact it seemed like we had sorted pretty much everything out.
One of the errors we were getting was in the rc file, where the compiler said it couldn't find "l.esp\afxres.rc". Upon investigating the issue, we found that in VS2013 (I guess 2012 and 2010 too) the path is "l.esn\afxres.rc" so we changed it, and it all worked fine again.
Now, after "finishing" the port, we've continued the development, and we've found that, every time we make a change to the resources (add new controls, change the properties of existing ones) the path returns to the old one ("l.esp\afxres.rc"). It changes it when saving the resource file (make change, click save, it's already changed).
I guess there is some property, or something, that it's still telling the IDE it is a Visual Studio 2005 project, but I can't find it. I've tried removing the UpgradeFromVC71 property page, but to no avail.
Any ideas?
Ok, I've found it! Leaving an answer for future reference.
It's in the Resource include files. Go to Resource View, right click on the .rc file and select "Rsource Include Files". There are the offending includes. Change the path, and done!

How do I add versions to “Visual Studio Version Selector”, my list is empty

I have VS 2008, 2010, and 2012 installed.
Initially, VS2013 Team Explorer was installed (Shell only). I uninstalled that.
Now, the Visual Studio Version Selector shows an empty list when executing a .sln file. Nothing shows.
How can I repopulate this list? Where is it stored? Registry? I tried to find entries, but since it doesn't actually have any items in the list, I couldn't search for a specific string.
I just encountered the same issue after installing Visual Studio 2015 parallel to an existing 2013 installation. In my case it turned out that that the problem was related to the solution file itself: It seems that the version selector does not like BOMs etc. (don't know how the solution got crippled, though). Make sure that the solution starts with
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
and has no space, non-printable character etc. before that. After saving the file, the effect should be immediately visible with the correct icon returning.
I just ran into a similar problem where this dialog started popping up after a recent Windows Update (Win10) on 1/6/2018. That update caused all sorts of havoc in terms of broken file associations.
I tried searching for solutions and trying a few things but everything was overly complicated and messy.
My solution was to run the Visual Studio (2013) repair.
After the repair, I did receive a warning (from vs installer) about update 3 failing to update but I restarted the computer and sln files can now open without needing that version dialog. Everything seems to be compiling and running fine as well.
Just ran into this situation for VS2017 then I realized I have unfinished updates for Visual Studio when checking Visual Studio Installer.
The installer displayed a hint that I should restart my computer to complete the update and after doing so, the version selector works again.
