Unable to run C++ in VS Code even after installing MinGW/MSYS — really stuck

Hi everyone,

For the past 2–3 days, I’ve been trying to run C++ programs in VS Code, but it’s just not working.

I installed MinGW, also set up MSYS, and checked the environment PATH variables carefully. Everything seems correct, but C++ still refuses to run. I even uninstalled and reinstalled MinGW, but the problem remains.

I’m honestly very frustrated at this point and not sure what I’m missing.

If anyone has faced a similar issue or knows how to fix this, please help me out. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!
