Unity wont create a project, just a cs file which prevents IntelliSense from working

Question

everytime I create a C# Script in Unity

it creates the file without creating a new project or adding the file to an already existing project.

Since the new created file is a blank cs, IntelliSense wont activate, which is really annoying.

I already tried creating a new C#-Project and pulling it into Unity, but projects that are created out of Unity do not inherit from MonoBehaviour. Also, the Start and Update methods arent created from the beginning.

I would love to have all my in Unity created C#-Scripts in a project.

I have Visual Studio Tools for Unity installed and sometimes I ran into this issue. One thing that I do, instead of double clicking the .cs file is this.Click on open C# project This will force Unity to create a project if one doesn't exist, after that when you create a new script, don't double click on it to open it. You have to open it in your visual studio project. Hope this helps.
