vscode windows: cannot open output file test.exe: Permission denied
I tried to run the basic C++ code on vscode I get as error:
Error: cannot open output file test.exe: Permission denied.
I am able to run Python code on VS Code but facing issue with C++ code only.

It's because you didn't terminate the running test.exe. Open Task Manager , then search for test.exe ( order by name to find it easier) and terminate it.

Restarting(Rebooting) the entire system helps for me. Still haven't find anything that causes this error, might be ending "main.exe" task in task manager details tab will help.
