            $uris = yield $this->filesFinder->find($pattern);

            // CIANTIC Fixes things for good
            if (preg_match("#wp-content[\\\\/]themes#", $this->rootPath)) {
                $this->client->window->logMessage(MessageType::INFO, "My WordPress themes should have stuff from here!");
                $this->composerLock = json_decode(file_get_contents("file:///C:/DepSource/WP/composer.lock"));
                $this->composerJson = json_decode(file_get_contents("file:///C:/DepSource/WP/composer.json"));

            }

            $count = count($uris);
            $startTime = microtime(true);
            $this->client->window->logMessage(MessageType::INFO, "$count files total");

            /** @var string[] */
            $source = [];
            /** @var string[][] */
            $deps = [];

1. Create folder "C:/DepSource/WP"
2. Store the composer.json and composer.lock there
3. Download WordPress to "C:/DepSource/WP/vendor/wp/"
4. Open \felixfbecker.php-intellisense-2.3.4\vendor\felixfbecker\language-server\src\Indexer.php add the changes above

Note This does extra check there: if (preg_match("#wp-content[\\\\/]themes#", $this->rootPath)) { if your themes are not in path wp-content/themes you have to change that.
