Visual Studio 2012 – Intellisense sometimes disappearing / broken

by

These are the few top solutions for getting Visual Studio 2012 intellisense back on track try them one by one, hope one of them will solve the problem:

When the problem occurs next time follow these:
start from #1 and Move to next when the earlier one doesn’t work for you

1: Close all the tabs and open your file again. (Thanks to russds)

2: Clean the Build > Close the Solution > Restart Visual Studio > Open the Solution again

3: Goto: Edit > IntelliSense > Refresh Local Cache

4: Close Visual Studio 2012 and delete this folder: %AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ReflectedSchemas

5: Goto: TOOLS > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings

6: Delete .suo file in the project folder. (Thanks to Jason Steele)

I am hopeful your problem will get solved by any of the above six steps.
But if it doesn’t after all this than I think you should consider reinstalling your VS2012.
