title: #include errors detected. Please update your includePath in visual studio code
body: <p>I'm trying to compile C++ files in Visual Studio Code <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/cpp#_intellisense" rel="nofollow noreferrer">How to use C/Cpp extension and add includepath to configurations</a> but I'm getting this errors:</p>
  <pre><code>#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit.
  cannot open source file &quot;iostream&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I already saw <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45583473/include-errors-detected-in-vscode">this question</a> and any of the solutions worked for me. Also I recorded <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P0Huz5nit1rMJMmex2oi9lf9CppVrNnb/view?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noreferrer">a video</a> following the steps of the visual studio code tutorial. Here is my code:</p>
  <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;
  
  using namespace std;
  
  int main()
  {
      cout &lt;&lt; &quot;Hello World&quot; &lt;&lt; endl;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>And this are my C/C++ settings:</p>
  <pre><code>{
      &quot;configurations&quot;: [
          {
              &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Win32&quot;,
              &quot;includePath&quot;: [
                  &quot;${workspaceFolder}/**&quot;,

              ],
              &quot;defines&quot;: [
                  &quot;_DEBUG&quot;,
                  &quot;UNICODE&quot;,
                  &quot;_UNICODE&quot;
              ],
              &quot;compilerPath&quot;: &quot;C:\\Program Files\\mingw-w64\\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\\mingw64\\bin\\gcc.exe&quot;,

          }
      ],
