What I want (example of a member):
What I often see (example of a class):
How do I configure Visual Studio so that references to members and classes are always displayed in place, as strings, and not as a small shortcut to an additional window? It would be much more convenient.
I have tried the Intellisense settings, but they do not affect this, moreover, such a link display appears randomly and for various methods and classes.

For this issue, i would suggest you to check the following suggestions to troubleshoot:
-
Is just that specific method/class having an issue, or are all methods in that class/all classes in your project broken? Please try to create a new project and add a class/method to verify it.
-
Did you install any third-party extensions(e.g: Resharper/AWS Toolkit for .NET Refactoring VS Extension) previously? If yes, please disable them from Extensions->Manager Extensions
-
Delete
.vsfolder in your solution and reopen it. -
If the issue persists, please consider updating your VS to the latest version(17.11.5) to see if it works.
