'VS Code not autocompleting html

I have set up a new project to work on and have only created an index.html file and a style.css file. Usually, when I type html in the index.html, it provides options to create a basic template but I do not have those options, similarly, it does not do it for any html tags either. I have checked that the language is HTML and not Django-HTML and also restarted the window but still no luck?

It may not give any suggestions / autocomplete for tags in an empty file, since you're not inside any basic html structure.

Try html:5 or ! to create a html template first.

try using html 5 <!DOCTYPE> or install emmet extension in vs-code

Solution 3:[3]

check if you are using HTML and not something like Django HTML or so. It can quite often be the issue. Other than that, be sure to use <!DOCTYPE html> I had simmilar problems while I was using VS code, so this may help

I installed the HTML Snippet extension, it was previously working before that without having to install the extension. Reloading VS Code did not work, but after restarting my computer it worked!
