So good to hear that VS2022 works for you.Terry wrote: Machine Learning has been incorporated into VS2022's intellisense system which when correct can reduce different key presses into simple single key presses (the TAB key). This makes coding quicker, but the downside is that you have to think quicker, and the ML bit can never be 100% accurate. A bit of a double edged sword in my opinion, but maybe I haven't used it on a single program for long enough.
VS2022's Machine Learning is one of the reasons that I won't go to VS2022 for a long time to come. Bottom line is that every time a Microsoft product is meant to be smart something, or more often, a lot, goes wrong. Good example is Text Editor/Advanced, Use adaptive formatting which still doesn't work after numerous bug reports (which are seldom leading to any action of the VS developers anyway) and finally MS advices to switch it off. I had already done that a long time ago but unfortunately I end up with this stupid option switched on something again, probably because of updates.
Here are some other users who have found this machine learning is not helpful, and they write how to switch it off. Probably around 2022 there's a VS2022 version in which switching off actually works completely without making existing Intellisense actions stop working (this will no doubt be a problem now) and then we only have to deal with the occasional unwanted "switched on" actions. If that happens no more than 2-3 times a year (e.g. with updates which, for that reason and more I don't install too often) it is "business as usual" in VS and then it probably won't work worse than VS2019 (not better either of course).

Finally Terry: as you like to look at things in a conceptual way, this article "Why Do Machine Learning Models Die In Silence?" might interest you.
