'Visual Studio C# - How do I turn off autocomplete (not intellisense)?

So I didn't use to have this issue as much in older versions, and it even then it was easy to get used to, but i got VS 2019 recently and now when I write code it'll randomly autocomplete half way in and add shit I didn't write WHILE IM STILL WRITING. I don't press enter, I don't click on anything, it'll just add what it thinks I want without any confirmation.

I tried searching how to disable this, but I only ever find how to turn off intellisense recommendations altogether (Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > IntelliSense). I don't want to disable the completion list from showing up, I WANT intellisense, I just want it to let me code without inserting new code on it's own. Just show me recommendations, don't automatically add them in for me without any input from me.

I think you want to disable the IntelliCode. you can do it by

Choose Extensions > Manage Extensions, find and select the IntelliCode extension, and then click Disable

I was running into this same issue with Visual Studio Community using C# and Resharper on a fresh installation.

This seems to occur on writing invalid syntax, Visual Studio replaces whatever is written with it's closest valid guess when the user presses space. Specifically I was typing in a variable without declaring a type first.

output // gets overwritten automatically with XmlOutputMethod
var output // does not get overwritten automatically

Unfortunately, I do not know how to disable this feature in Visual Studio. Hopefully this information is of some use.

I've recorded a short video of my text being overwritten by Visual Studio, which can be found here

Edit -> Intellisense -> Switch Between Automatic and Tab-Only IntelliSense Completion

Had the same problem, this worked for me.
