#include errors detected in vscode

Question

I am using Visual Studio Code in my C++ project. I installed Microsoft C/C++ Extension for VS Code. I got the following error:

#include error

Answer 1

The error message "Please update your includePath" does not necessarily mean there is actually a problem with the includePath. The problem may be that VSCode is using the wrong compiler or wrong IntelliSense mode. I have written instructions in this answer on how to troubleshoot and align your VSCode C++ configuration with your compiler and project.
