TypeScript Auto Imports broken

[fabis94]

• VSCode Version: Tried 1.44.0 and 1.45-insiders
• OS Version: Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19041 Build 19041
• TypeScript Version: Tried 3.8.3 and also nightly 3.9.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create basic TS project
2. Install any NPM package
3. Auto-imports wont work for it

OR just try my repro repo: https://github.com/fabis94/broken-vscode-ts-autoimports

It should offer to auto import ApolloServer from the Apollo Server package, yet it doesn't. Doesn't work with any other packages either. Auto imports to other local scripts did work, though.

This is probably an issue specifically on Windows, because a different repo currently works on OSX and doesn't work on Windows.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I think I've found the reason:

Suggestions start appearing once you manually imported at least one type from the module in your file.

This should be stickied somewhere, because it took me hours to find this info
