cannot open source file "corecrt.h" (dependency of "iostream")

[Hanano-Yuuki]

* Operating System and version: windows10-1709
* VS Code version:1.18.0
* C/C++ extension version:0.14.2
today when I open vscode to edit my code it suggests me "cannot open source file "corecrt.h" (dependency of "iostream")"
but it worked well yesterday.
after I change the C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine setting to Tag Parser.the problems disappear,but itelliSense cannot works as conveniently as my original settings(C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine:Default)
using VS2015/VC/include or using MinGW/include are the same situation...
I wonder if I forget to add something into c_cpp_properties.json 
maybe this is not my fault because vsc worked well yesterday and the program can be run sucessfully

and this is my c_cpp_properties.json now:

{ "name": "Win32", "includePath": [ "C:/VS2015/VC/include/", "C:/VS2015/VC/atlmfc/include/", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/um", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/shared", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/winrt", "${workspaceRoot}" ], "defines": [ "_DEBUG", "UNICODE" ], "intelliSenseMode": "msvc-x64", "browse": { "path": [ "C:/VS2015/VC/include/", "C:/VS2015/VC/atlmfc/include/", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/um", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/shared", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/8.1/Include/winrt", "${workspaceRoot}" ], "limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": true, "databaseFilename": "" } }

@Hanano-Yuuki ,hello , how did you solve this problem at last , I just have the same problem!

[Hanano-Yuuki]

@Zeta-lime I think it may help you: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/LanguageServer/MinGW.md

by the way,run g++ -Wp,-v -E -xc -x c++ NUL to see the include files(if you use G++) and the order is important hope it can help you

Thank you this is exactly answer I am seek for!

You fixed this problem by changing to gcc as the compiler...For someone choosing MSVC, I fixed the "cannot open source file "corecrt.h" (dependency of "iostream")" issue by changing the include path in _c_cppproperties.json

"D:/Program Files/Microsoft/MSVC2017/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.12.25827/include/*", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Include/10.0.10240.0/ucrt", "C:/Program Files (x86)/Windows Kits/10/Lib/10.0.10240.0/ucrt/x64",

I installed MSVC on D: drive, you may change that according.

The last line does the job. You can omit the rest lines safely.
