I noticed that in the auto-generated tasks.json, the "cwd" option is set to "C:/mingw64/bin" instead of "${fileDirname}", which causes an error. Where should I modify to restore the default setting?

I noticed that in the auto-generated tasks.json, the "cwd" option is set to "C:/mingw64/bin" instead of "${fileDirname}", which causes an error. Where should I modify to restore the default setting?I'm quite sure that it was naturally generated and not modified manually by me.

@2time2222 It's because C:/mingw64/bin is not in your environment path, so adding that should fix it: see the code at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/main/Extension/src/LanguageServer/cppBuildTaskProvider.ts#L197

This didn't work. My GCC path was always in the environment path. Later, after reinstalling VSCode, everything was fine. Thank you all the same.
