Choose C++ Desktop Dev, which is right under Universal Windows Platform Dev.

Why don't you use VC++? Community is free and has less features than Pro or Enterprise : https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/

Are you sure you're using Visual Studio Code because I can't find a Pro/Enterprise version. If you are using VS Pro, there is a free trial.

VS Code seems like just a code editor without any IDE which is probably why you're having problems compiling.

Yes, download that only if you want to make windows apps. Choose C++ install option if you want to make C++ apps.
