I'm getting frequent freezes while working on unreal engine projects since I updated to VS 15.3.5, especially with .Build.cs and .ini files.
These just happen randomly when I start typing something, and the autocomplete list is about to open:



That file doesn't look very useful to me but here it is anyways: https://pastebin.com/GyEkaWFX
I'm not actually sure if VA is responsible here, but it's the only extension I have installed...

I have seen something very similar when loading the solution, after installing an update to the IDE. When this happens disabling and enabling VA fixes this, so can you please try going to:

IDE tools menu -> Extensions and Updates...

locate and select Visual Assist in the list of installed extensions, and press the Disable button. This will require an IDE restart to complete. Now go back into the same dialog and enable VA, which will again require an IDE restart.

I am not used to seeing this when typing in a file, so I don't know if this will help or not, but it's a good first step.

If this does not help, can you please try disabling VA, via the menu command:

VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X

and see if this stops the message appearing? This will help to tell us if VA is a factor in this message.

Reinstalling the extension didn't change anything.
Though it stops happening when VA is disabled, so it's definitely the problem.

Your log shows a problem with type ShaderTools.CodeAnalysis.Editor.Implementation.IntelliSense.Completion.Presentation.ToolTipProvider. Which extension is this? Can you disable it instead of VA and see if that also fixes the problem? Perhaps we have conflict.

Oh, I completely forgot I installed that one a while ago...

It's not happening anymore after removing it (wasn't using it anyways)
