My watch and immediate window has stopped showing intellisense options automatically until I press Ctrl + Space.
I tried to search any option to enable it again, but couldn't find one.
I am using ReSharper with my Visual Studio 2010, is it something because of it, although I don't remember it stopped working after ReSharper or even before that.
Can anybody please help!
Its a known issue. If you enable resharper's intellisense then intellisense won't work in immediate window:

In Visual Studio 2022, I often will run into an issue where I am typing a smaller word and, when I press SPACE, VS auto-completes it to something completely unrelated to the context that just happened to be the highest in the IntelliSense suggestion popup. How do I change this behavior to only auto-complete/accept suggestions when you press TAB
Edit > IntelliSense > Switch between automatic and tab-only IntelliSense completion
I have a minor annoyance with Visual Studio. In the bottom right hand corner of Visual Studio, there is a INS/OVR button to toggle Insert/Overwrite. I always have this button set to INS, and I always want it to be set to INS.
However, sometimes when I build the solution, Visual Studio changes this back to OVR. I have to click on the button to change it back to INS, which is slightly inconvenient.
I do not know why this setting sometimes changes.
Is there anyway I can permanently disable the overwrite mode in Visual Studio or prevent solution builds from changing this setting?
Visual Studio, Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard, remove the shortcut binding for Edit.OvertypeMode
I don't think you can permanently turn insert/overwrite off. Are you accidentally pressing insert on your keyboard? You can press the insert key on your keyboard or Shift+0 on the numpad to toggle it back again.
Go to Visual Studio Code's settings and type "overtype" in the search bar, and set it to 'never'.
Hope this helped! :)
Sometimes visual studio wont disable overtype even if you hit insert with numlock on, If this happens just close script and open it again and it will work. This is a bug in visual studio.
It's basically in the title.
Whenever you "select all" in the Visual Studio code editor, the editor will scroll down to the bottom of the file. Is there a way to prevent this?
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 at the moment, but this applies to all versions.
No, you cannot change this behavior.
Microsoft has been aware of this since at least VS 2010, but either doesn't think it's a bug or doesn't think it's important enough to fix.
From their response to a 2010 bug report filed on the issue:
We unfortunately do not plan to change Ctrl+A's scrolling at this
time, so we're unfortunately resolving this issue as Won't Fix for VS
2010. However, it will remain in our database to be revisited for a future release of Visual Studio.

A quick Ctrl-Z-Ctrl-Y will get you back to where you were. If you tend to do a Ctrl-S Ctrl-A Ctrl-C a lot then just get used to this whole chain instead: Ctrl-SACZY. Or, create a macro: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/a0003t62%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
I was struggling with this myself, but the "undo" suggestion gave me an idea and I feel kinda dumb for not thinking of it earlier. Visual Studio includes "Navigate Backwards" and "Navigate Forwards" buttons (CTRL-, and CTRL+, respectively). So after you finish selecting and copying, simple click the navigate backwards button or type CTRL- and voilà! you're back where you were.
I know it doesn't stop the scroll to begin with, but at least it puts your cursor back exactly where you left it!
I just switched to Visual Studio 2010, and now whenever I select something, Ctrl+C to copy, click somewhere else, and Ctrl+V to paste, I get an error message "Cannot navigate to definition." After that, it I try it again, it works. What fantastic new 'feature' should I be turning off to stop this?
Bah, it's a bug in Microsoft Productivity Power Tools for Visual Studio 2010. the "Ctrl+Click Go To Definition" feature. Apparently, when I click a new location and then press "Ctrl+V" - if I do it quickly enough, it interprets it as a Ctrl+Click and immediately tries to trigger a navigation, even if I clicked on an empty space. The error comes because it doesn't know what I'm trying to navigate to (answer: I'm not).
I have/had similar issues in VS 2012 (Premium).
I've tried the following:
removed all bin and obj folders from project's folder: works most of
the time.
repaired VS 2012 (add/remove bugrams (programs) > repair). Didn't
help much.
Close and opened VS 2012: didn’t help much either.
I've noticed than I couldn't open only files that weren't check-in in
TFS. I check-in them and then VS started working normally.
Dunno if this issue will appear again tough.
Hopefully this would help someone.

you can remove the GoToDefProPack.dll file from the following location:
C:\Users(myUserName)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Extensions\Microsoft\Productivity Power Tools\10.0.20318.14
to disable this feature completely.
In Visual Studio 2010, sometimes within the same session (not having rebooted the app) intellisense gets turned off. The checkboxes in Tools > Options > Text Editory > C# > Statement Completion, "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Information" become unchecked.
I have Resharper installed as well. But Resharper does not control that setting, as far as I know.
This can happen a couple times a day to me, all without restarting Visual Studio.
There is, apparently, a documented bug for Resharper: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/2011/02/resharper-513-is-released/
Excerpt:
ReSharper 5.1.3 provides exactly one bug fix that prevents disabling Parameter
Information and auto-completion when you’re using native Visual Studio
IntelliSense (as opposed to ReSharper IntelliSense).
Please note that if you’re been using ReSharper IntelliSense as a workaround in
5.1.2, as soon as you switch back to Visual Studio IntelliSense, you’ll have to
initially set Auto-list members and Parameter information check boxes manually,
but that is only required once.
I've noticed this in ReSharper 7.1.1 as well, at least regarding javascript intellisense having the same problem. My workaround was to tell Reshaper to use 'Visual Studio' as its Intellisense option Resharper > Options > Intellisense > General. (you can still bring up Resharper's intellisense with Ctrl + Alt + Space)
Once I did that it kept my Visual Studio options checked for good.
