Code::Blocks C++ Help? [SOLVED]

I've downloaded, installed, reinstalled, messed with settings but no matter what I do, I cannot get code blocks to run the basic 'hello world' program, and this one wasn't even written by me. No windows pop up, I see no errors, i don't know what is going wrong.

It seems that you have wrong project path (folder where project is stored). Does it contain spaces?

Hi. Could you send screenshots after starting a program and a list of your actions? Information about your OS and compiler also would be helpful.

I recommend you to read this article about asking questions. It can help you to be understood when you ask someone and get the answer faster. https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-ask-good-questions-as-a-developer-9f71ff809b63/

I did. My issue was special characters and spaces in my path. My issue is resolved and everything is working properly now

The real solution is to switch to a better IDE

Windows 10, code::blocks 20.03, full installation, default settings for c++ as I understand it. I just started yesterday (technically the day before, but i don't count until i sleep) I've read the article (thank you), but my problem is not the code, the first project that is opened wasn't written by me.

I think you didn't install mingw.

I opened a new project, choose c++, and it opened the basic "hello world" program

I don't have a 'build log' tab, and I don't know how you send screenshots on desktop sololearn
