    If you had searched SO you would see this comes up many times. Visual studio is not the same as visual studio code and the code editor does not seem to set up as easily as visual studio itself this has been answered many times – BugFinder Apr 28 '21 at 08:06

You probably need to install the appropriate targeting pack for Unity. That article also has some other helpful extensions to install when developing in Unity.

What you could do is just open it and close it.

What i mean by that is go to Assets > Open C# Project

Once VSCode opened, wait for 1 min, try to write something like Rigidbody. If intellisense is working it will start giving you hints, if it's still not working

Do the process one more time,

You can refer to these pictures where how VSCode tells you whether Intellisense is working or not. https://i.stack.imgur.com/FJ6uL.jpg

You need to install snippets for Unity in VS code. Open VS code. Go to Extensions(ctrl+shift+X). In search field you need to write unity Then click to Unity Code Snippets and install it in window bellow. Then you will be able to see Intelesence !

    But on Screenshot it`s VS code) If you need to Intelesense in VS, you need to go to Extensions > Manage Extensions > in Find field add 'Unity', then download Unity File Templates and Snippets. Then, in Unity, preferences>External tools> choice Visual Studio in External script editor. Then reopen VS, await few seconds, and you will see Intelesense ) – Roman Lemberg Apr 28 '21 at 08:29
