Why does VS Code throw "Cannot find module 'typescript'. ts(2307)" while the module is there?

Question

I'm using import * as ts from "typescript"; to import typescript in a .ts file.

The file runs fine, but VS Code is telling me Cannot find module 'typescript'. ts(2307).

Is there any way to suppress this problem?

Edit: the file can be compiled and run successfully

@Saddy Yes, it was installed with -g. Might be something else wrong — Tom

@Saddy running tsc file.ts doesn't throw any error... The error only shows in VS Code's Problems tab — Tom

You want to change these two settings in VS Code's settings.json:

"typescript.validate.enable": false,
"javascript.validate.enable": false,

To make the previous solution more clear.

{
    "javascript.format.enable": false,
    "typescript.validate.enable": false,
}
