How to Fix Loading Intellisense Status Check in Visual Studio Code

If you are here it means you have encountered the weird loading Intellisense status check issue in Visual Studio Code caused by Intellisense Loading indefinitely. You cannot find method definitions by Ctrl + Clicking on them because VSC is busy trying to load the intellisense. This issue is mostly associated with the Typescript Version.

It is happening because Typescript is dealing with the ambiguity of the version it is supposed to use. To fix the Loading Intellisense Status Check Issue in VSC, you must simply help your VSC understand the version it is supposed to use.

The question now arises. How do we do that? Don’t worry we have got you covered.

Steps on How to Fix Loading Intellisense Status Check in Visual Studio Code

Here’s a quick way to resolve this:

Step 1: Access the command section by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P to open it on Windows (⇧⌘P on Mac).

Step 2: Select the Typescript: Select Typescript Version … command.

Step 3: Once you click on it you will see the available versions you can use. You can select the most recent version to proceed here. Clicking on either the Workspace version or the VS Code’s latest version will solve the issue.

If not sure just click on the Workspace Version in order to proceed.

Once you have clicked on it, meaning that you have selected a version, wait for the change to take effect. You can either reload VSC, restart VSC, or just wait for a few seconds for the change to take effect, before Ctrl + Clicking on a method to see if the definition pops up.

That’s it! The problem of loading the Intellisense status check has been fixed.
