Intellisense is slow and non-responsive

[Illya776]

Type: Bug

I'm using VScode with an SSH extension to connect to a remote linux C++ project. The intellisense doesn't seem to respond fast or at all.

Extension version: 1.22.11
VS Code version: Code 1.95.1 (65edc4939843c90c34d61f4ce11704f09d3e5cb6, 2024-10-31T05:14:54.222Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045
Modes:
Remote OS version: Linux x64 4.15.0-213-generic

@Illya776 We need more info. What does the language status bar show?

With C_Cpp.loggingLevel set to "Debug" is there any logging (in the C/C++ pane) that would seem to indicate what is taking the time? Is it logging that an IntelliSense update is taking a long time or is it logging tag parsing messages, etc.?

I have the same issue. The last working version for me is v1.20.5 which is the last version whose installation file's name is cpptools-linux.vsix instead of cpptools-linux-x64.vsix
