This happened to me right after I've updated my VS Code today. Restarting TypeScript server didn't help. So I've found the answer here.

To 'fix' it, I had to:

1. Install the JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly VS Code extension.
2. Open any TypeScript file.
3. Open command pallete (ctrl+p) and type: >Typescript: Select TypeScript Version
