I had clang format and removed it to see if anything could be fixed, but nothing helped.

I have a multi root workspace (a root folder and the other root is a child folder) if that helps.

My issue is similar to this person's issue. #3796

Here is a screenshot:

I think this is a duplicate of #1073 (and others?) .

I do, in fact, have a multi-root workspace organized that way. WOW! Reducing the roots of my workspace to 1 have actually fixed many errors! Previously, my intellisense wouldn't update and I would have errors stick around for no apparent reason, but that is now fixed. MY header detection works now! I think I will submit a pull request to add a warning against multi-root workspaces on the readme. Thank you!
