Bazel no longer working after upgrading Visual Studio

I recently upgraded the Visual Studio on my system and bazel build ... no longer works. For example,

C:\Users\marki\plasty>bazel build labeling:semantic_seg
INFO: Analyzed target //labeling:semantic_seg (0 packages loaded, 0 targets configured).
INFO: Found 1 target...
ERROR: C:/users/marki/plasty/util/BUILD:59:1: C++ compilation of rule '//util:image' failed (Exit -1). Note: Remote connection/protocol failed with: execution failed

The directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.21.27702 does not exist (anymore?) on my system. However, I found the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.23.28105. But I'm not sure what setting I need to change in Bazel to make it use the new directory.

After finding this thread https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/8589, I set the environment variable BAZEL_VC_FULL_VERSION to 14.23.28105 and that seems to fix the issue.
