Appears to be invoked by your launch.json config. Post its contents?

Sorry for the late response, but when i click "open launch.json" it shows this:

Also, when i look for launch.json in file explorer, it shows these 3 options (probrably bc i uninstalled and reinstalled vs code and followed the tutorial again 3 times):

After a couple days, i finally found out that i just needed to save the C++ file in a folder and then open that folder in vs code. Not sure why this fixed this, but i think it has something to do with the folder letting vs code know where to put the other vs code needed stuff like the launch.json and tasks.json?
