Visual Studio Code – Converting an exe recipe file to a regular exe file to run on desktop

I want to create just a simple exe file from some code i am trying in c++
when i try to create exe file it creates a exe recipe and it does not work.
how do i fix that problem i tried looking it up and could not find a good answer.
i am just trying to create a snake game and run it as a exe file.
i am using visual studio public for school work.

#include<Windows.h>
#include<stdbool.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<iostream>

int x, y, fruitX, fruitY, score=0;

eDirection dir;
int tailx[100], taily[100], ctail = 0;


void setup()

    gameover = false;
    
    x = width / 2;
    y = height / 2;
    srand(time(0));
    fruitX = rand() % width + 1;
    fruitY = rand() % height;
