CMake Error When Trying to Configure File for Pi Pico

Question

I am using VSCode for Pi Pico and followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUF9xjDtFfY&ab_channel=LearnEmbeddedSystems. Everything was working fine yesterday and today when I went to configure my files and further build them I am met with this in my output window in vscode:

This is in my problems window on vscode:

I am new to using Pi Pico and I am just learning it in a college module. Please let me know if you need more info :)

I tried to uninstall CMake and install it again following the tutorial but this did not work
