namespace "std" has no member "cout" | Windows

[ItzKasmi]

Hi, I've been trying to troubleshoot this issue for the last hour. But can't seem to find out why I am getting this error. Provided below is my current code. Just trying to get C++ working on my local Windows environment.

I can compile and run the code without errors but no matter what I have tried to change I am getting that squiggly error on the cout and anything following std:: for that matter. I have read a lot of the previous solutions to this problem and nothing has worked for me.

Just hoping to get some help.

You may need to set your compilerPath somehow, such as via setting the C_Cpp.default.compilerPath setting or via running the C/C++: Select IntelliSense Configuration command. Running the C/C++: Log Diagnostics command could also help diagnose which system headers are being picked up.
