VS2015 CUDA project compiles and runs but Intellisense cannot find includes

Question

I am running VS2015 community and working with a mixed OpenCV/CUDA code. The project runs as it should but Intellisense squiggles under the include headers. When I right click, it gives this error.

Things I have already tried:

Restarting VS (at least a dozen times).
Deleting the .vs folder in the project folder.
Deleting the *.vc.db in the project folder.
Check the Additional Include Directories
Remove the Additional Include Directories > Fail to compile > Add them back > successfully compiles.
Make sure I am on x64 and Debug. I am using OpenCV 3.2 x64.

Other stackoverflow questions I have already referred with no success

The problem had to do something with the CUDA build settings in the project. I fixed the problem by moving $(OPENCV_DIR)\include from Additional Include Directories to simply Include Directories.

The thing is that if you working with a pure OpenCV project and are just linking against the library (and not writing any CUDA code yourself), you don't even need to set up a CUDA project in VS. – talonmies Jun 04 '17 at 04:37
Yes, if I am not writing any CUDA code, I dont need to setup CUDA project. I dont understand your point. – Souradeep Nanda Jun 04 '17 at 04:54
So why are you using a CUDA project to compile something that appears to only use OpenCV? – talonmies Jun 04 '17 at 04:58
I am using OpenCV to read and write images from the disk. CUDA is for image manipulations. – Souradeep Nanda Jun 04 '17 at 04:59
At no point, anywhere, did you mention that in either your question or answer – talonmies Jun 04 '17 at 05:04
I thought it was irrelevant. – Souradeep Nanda Jun 04 '17 at 05:05
So how could someone else possibly have either given you this answer (or understand why you tagged the question as a CUDA question)? – talonmies Jun 04 '17 at 05:16
I tagged CUDA, after I had answered the question. I expected it to be a Visual Studio cache related error. – Souradeep Nanda Jun 04 '17 at 05:18
