VS 2019 Intellisense Suddenly Quit Working in View/Razor Files

Question

I have been working on this project for a couple months and suddenly intellisense quit working only in the view/cshtml files. I had left VS open and debugging for several days without working on the project. When I came back I didn't have any color coding for the C# parts of the files. I also found that it doesn't work in any of the views, but does work in my controllers and models. I have tried many suggestions, but to no luck. I tried everything in this link.

I am working on a basic MVC app in VS2019. I have Bootstrap 3, Jquery, and Entity Framework installed.

I would greatly appreciate any help. This is driving me nuts.

Update: This is also not working in any solutions in Visual Studio. So maybe something wrong in VS?

@osfresia My web.configs already looked like that. I started this as an MVC3 project in VS2019. I was not going through any updates, as I started the project in the current version. — cytech04, Jan 12 '22 at 17:23

The problem was fixed after installing Visual Studio 2022 and opening the project there. Still in the dark as to what caused the problem in VS2019.
