    Hello @Pranav Kumar Mahto ,

    Could you please share the first few error messages shown in the Terminal or Problems panel?

    Also, please run g++`` ``--version in the VS Code terminal and share the output, along with your tasks.json file if available. This will help us determine whether the issue is related to the compiler installation, PATH, or the VS Code build configuration.
