Visual studio code prints "^C" and a bunch of other clutter randomly when I run a c++ file

When I try to run a simple "Hello World" script in vs code it prints a bunch of other clutter.

Here’s my simple code:

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    cout << "Hello World" << endl;
}

I ran this 2 times back to back and here’s the output:

PS D:programming_stuffprojects>  & 'c:UsersUser.vscodeextensionsms-vscode.cpptools-1.22.11-win32-x64debugAdaptersbinWindowsDebugLauncher.exe' '--stdin=Microsoft-MIEngine-In-krl1yqsi.bim' '--stdout=Microsoft-MIEngine-Out-j3natwkm.1o0' '--stderr=Microsoft-MIEngine-Error-nnjiydra.g0e' '--pid=Microsoft-MIEngine-Pid-jmdqiobi.wwj' '--dbgExe=C:msys64ucrt64bingdb.exe' '--interpreter=mi'
Hello World

Hello World

It runs fine and prints out "Hello World" 2 times just like I expect it to but how do I make it so that it prints things without those random symbols and other clutter? I’m not getting any error messages as far as I can tell. My compiler path is "cl.exe". I’m running this on windows 10. My "c_cpp_properties.json" looks like this:

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Win32",
            "includePath": [
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "defines": [
                "_DEBUG",
                "UNICODE",
                "_UNICODE"
            ],
            "windowsSdkVersion": "10.0.22621.0",
            "compilerPath": "cl.exe",
            "cStandard": "c17",
            "cppStandard": "c++17",
            "intelliSenseMode": "windows-msvc-x64"
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

I’m very much a beginner at this so any help is appreciated.
