Looks fine! There are only a few situations when this kind of error can appear, so we can go through them

#

MSVC (the compiler used by Visual Studio) can't find your standard library headers

whole quail
#

i might not have all the libraries i need

robust spear
#

You should have them

whole quail
#

i only have iostream rn

robust spear
#

I assure you you should have them available

whole quail
#

i mean i only did #include <iostream>

robust spear
#

Yyea, no worries :D

#

How did you create the project/try to compile the file? can you go step by step through the process ?

#

(with some screenshots)

whole quail
#

so far only debug

robust spear
#

(also are you using vs 2022 or 2019?)

whole quail
#

2022

robust spear
#

So, the best way to start is to go:

#

From top menu: File -> New -> Project

#

In the window that shows up, choose an Empty Project (C++, Windows, Console)

#

Give it some name, also tick this box

robust spear
#

ohhhh now I get what the problem is

#

I didn't quite understand you ^^"

whole quail
#

ye, ive written my code (without classes just to check logic)

robust spear
#

OK so see in the installation menu you have downloaded "Windows Universal CRT SDK "

#

wait, no, it's not that

#

Make sure you have at least one Windows(yours) SDK and Windows Universal C Runtime
