I have noticed a weird issue with Visual Studio 2019 v16.0.1 the IntelliSense about \"Using directive is unnecessary\" normally grey is missing and type reference suggestion
.vs folder (it is a hidden folder inside the folder which contains the solution *.sln)Solved my problem
NOTE 1: I am using Visual Studio 2019, but it may work on other versions
NOTE 2: This did not solve the OP problem, but it is a good candidate to solve your
