Currently, I want to practice my C so I open a new folder to write some C codes. But weird thing happened. The editor shows me that one library bits/stdc .h can not be resolved. Initially, I tried to delete and download MingW again at the D panel and reset the system path. But after that nothing changed.

I tracked the path of iostream (this one could be resolved) but found somehow my vscode point the library path at C->MicroSoft Visual Studio->2019....->iostream instead of D:/MingW/bin. I don't know how to solve this. So I tried running a cpp file at cmd that outputs "Hello World" to check my g setting, and it ran smoothly. I guess this is because my Vscode sets its library-finding path to the Microsoft VS 2019 but I can't find out where to change this.

Below will attach some screenshots as a detailed description, hope they can help you fix this question.

Note that I do not have the c_cpp_properties.json file, I also don't know why I don't have.

Now I want to set my editor library-finding path to D:/MingW/bin. Or if my assumption is wrong, please point out the correct way.

Change the header file to something wrong like "issotream". When it highlights it as an error, hover over it and select quick fix and click IncludePath. This will open a settings page, there you can add your bin path.

Open settings (UI if you're not comfortable with json), you can do it pressing

ctrl   shift   P

then select Preferences: Open Settings (UI) and search for include path. From the left drop down menu select Extensions -> C/C and navigate to Include Path. Here you can add new default paths.

Mind you that this will not tell the compiler anything about the libraries.
