Visual Studio Code – Cannot open include file: 'stdio.h': No such file or directory

I am new to C++ and have encountered the following difficulty. I have installed Visual Studio Community 2022 version 17.9.6, in it I have installed the items shown in the screenshot.

Immediately after creating a console application for Windows in C++, I got a lot of errors in the console related to importing files like ‘ctype.h’, ‘errno.h’, ‘float.h’ and so on. I started looking for solutions, but none of them helped me.

Some of what I tried:

• change Properties → General → Windows SDK Version to 10 (I’ve got 10.0 selected by default)
• install the "Windows Universal CRT SDK" Visual Studio component

I would be very grateful for the help!

P.S

Screenshot with C++ part

The code i’m using

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World!n";
}

Errors:

And one more error after trying to change SDK version to 10.0.22621.0: ‘Error MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 10.0.22621.0 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".’

I would like to add that this version is installed in Visual Studio Installer and I have tried reinstalling it. But as I understood, this SDK should be stored in the path ‘C:Program Files (x86)Windows Kits’, but there are only directories ‘8.1’ and ‘NETFXSDK’ there. Maybe these are some old versions and I need to reinstall Visual Studio completely and delete all the old files?

P.S.2

I uninstalled the Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0) and installed the Windows 10 SDK (10.0.20348.0) (I have Windows 11 installed). A bunch of errors disappeared, the required version started showing up in the project settings. I selected it, but then i got an error: ‘MSB8036 The Windows SDK version 10.0.20348.0 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting ‘Retarget solution”. I don’t understand how this can happen if Visual Studio itself offers me to select this version.
