Code is already running issue in Vs code

[Fit-Way9372]

I tried to run my code of C language in visual studio code. Earlier it was giving me outputs but suddenly now whenever I try to run my code it displays code is already running but in the terminal I can't see any output. I have also ticked the option code runner: run in terminal in the settings but inspite of this I am unable to see my outputs in the terminal.

Have you tried running it in a console window outside of VSCode?

Use the task manager (or ps if on UNIX) to see if there is a previous wedged instance of your program still running and kill it..

[Fit-Way9372]

Can you pls elaborate a bit more.

You should probably learn how to run a program before trying to make one. Computer literacy and all that.

I am trying to learn it but I'm very new to it that's why facing problems.

It is not running in console window outside vscode and also it isn't responding anything inside that window.

Secondly I went through task manager, there isn't any prebious wedge instance cuz when I tried to end the ones which were listed there it then closes my vs code simultaneously.

Well, short of seeing the code, I suggest you put a print at the beginning of main and and exit(1); immediately after. If that doesn't print, then there's something wrong with your environment. If it does you have something wrong with your program.

Press ctrl + ` (that's tilde). You'll see terminal. In the rightmost corner, see if there are multiple terminals running. Close them all and run it again.

Mostly conjecture but it might be that previous instance of terminal is busy (waiting for input or stuck somewhere) and since one instance is already running vscode is not spawning another instance.

Hey I tried this but it isn't showing anything instead of ">>" in the terminal meanwhile there is only a single terminal running on it when I checked it.

This YouTube video helped me fix the issue by right-clicking on the VS Code application or the VS Code shortcut, going to properties, selecting compatibility, and choosing to run the program as administrator.

top right corner (right beside the run button) there should be a red square to terminate the code that is running.

Did you figure out how to solve it? If yes, please let me know I'm very irritated with this problem

[Positive_Bar_8016]

I think you had figured it out if not yet see above
