So I'm very new to C++. Downloaded it yesterday (with the compiler) and tried running the default main.cpp 'Hello World!' file but it just comes up with a blank window with a flashing underscore.
I'm on windows 10 FYI.
I read that it's an anti-virus issue (I'm using AVG), but everyone seems to fix it by temporarily disabling their AV or by adding the Codeblocks folders to the exception list. I've done both and I still can't get it to work... any ideas anyone? Would be appreciated! Thanks.
What is the actual problem? Is your executable able to run? Can you see it in the task manager?
Thank you for your reply.
I get cb_console_runner.exe coming up in task manager.
Basically i get the below coming up but that's all.
cb_console_runner.exe is the executable responsible for running your executable in a terminal window.
So your executable should be a child process of cb_console_runner.exe.
Is this the case?
Is your executable present in the filesystem while the cb_console_runner.exe is still running?
This for sure is a anti virus problem... Can you try to deactivate it totally? AVG is a terrible anti virus (i know it, because i use it also...)
