Qt in Clion 2020.3 - c++

I was trying the new fearture in CLion 2020.3 - creating Qt Widgets Application. When I tryed to build a simple program that CLion offered me I got this error:

Visual Studio with CMake stopped working. How do I completely reset to a working state?

I was working on a C++ CMake project which was displaying and building fine in Visual Studio. Then I did something, I'm not sure what I did, but it seemed to break CMake. Now I get the following error:
Error CMake Error at C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:69 (message):

I get this error, even if I make a completely fresh CMake project via File > New > Project > CMake Project from within Visual Studio.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing:
Visual Studio
Multiple different Windows SDK versions
CMake
I was hoping that doing this would return Visual Studio + CMake to a working state again but I am still getting the same error.
I also tried manually setting LIB and INCLUDE environment variables to the appropriate directories and that did get rid of the error but then the program wouldn't build, I got a bunch of errors like this:
Error (active) E1696 cannot open source file "ctype.h" VsSimple.exe - x64-Debug C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.34.31933\include\cctype
I also tried deleting everything in the project folder apart from CMakeLists.txt, the .cpp file and the .h file. Unfortunately still no luck.

The C compiler is not able to generate a single test (C++ IntelliSense information may be out of date, generate the CMake cache to refresh.)

the name might be long but that's all I can think of to describe the issue. I was trying to follow a pybind11 tutorial and when I cloned all the examples my intellisense started acting up, first on VSCode with it not fiding the indlude folder (despite adding the path to the "C/C++ configuration") and then on Visual Studio 2022 with Cmake throwing an error when I tried to fix "C++ IntelliSense information may be out of date, generate the CMake cache to refresh".
The error is as follows :

and since I'm no c++ pro I couldn't figure what this meant.
(I tried the other related topics: here and here)

Unable to build using clang-cl, CMake, and Ninja from a terminal

There are plenty of questions and answers relating to this, but none of them have gotten me past my current problem. I can build using CMake/Ninja/clang-cl fine from within Visual Studio, but I want this to be done within a Github Action so I need to be able to do it from the command line - but it fails the configuration stage.
Running from Powershell:

Those libraries are installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.22000.0\um\x64 which I would have thought vcvarsall.bat would have setup some env var that points to them - but clearly it didn't. What's weirder is that when I configure CMake from within VS, it doesn't need to pass the CMAKE_RC_COMPILER arg but if I don't then it fails stating that rc.exe can't be found.
Clearly VS is doing some extra configuration in the background before CMake is configured - what is it!?
As an extra data point, if I try to run the above CMake configuration command within the 'Developer Powershell for VS 2022', it fails for a different reason:

vscode cmake mvsc compiler not found [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
CMake cannot open "ucrtd.lib"
(3 answers)
Closed 11 months ago.
I downloaded vscode with (C/C++ and cmake extentions) and Visual Studio Tools 2022. Created and QuickStart project with the cmake extention which is a simple:
#include <iostream>
int main(int, char**) {
std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
}
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.0)
project(hello-cmake VERSION 0.1.0)
include(CTest)
enable_testing()
add_executable(hello-cmake main.cpp)
set(CPACK_PROJECT_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME})
set(CPACK_PROJECT_VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION})
include(CPack)
but I keep getting this error:

10.0.19041.0is a bad windows sdk version. I installed 10.0.20348.0 and it works no problem.

Cannot link to Boost library with MSVC: Cannot open file *.lib

I'm using CLion and CMake to link with Boost and as toolchain I chose the MSVC compiler:
My architecture is configured as amd64 since I'm running a 64-bit system (the default of x86 only tries to find the 32-bit versions of Boost which I don't want).
Furthermore I compiled the 64-bit libraries using this guide. I setup my CMake file respectively:
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3")
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3/stage/x64/lib")
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3/boost")
My main.cpp compiles just fine but I'm getting a linker error:

When using x86_amd64 as architecture it also fails to link. The other architectures don't make sense for my PC:
Using the pre-compiled binaries from here also fails to link. How to fix this linking problem?
Just setting BOOST_ROOT in CMakeLists.txt
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3")
and using amd64 as the architecture surprisingly did the trick now. Using MSVC with CMake is better supported with Visual Studio (quite obviously) and linking to Boost was no issue anymore. Now the build also works from CLion but Visual Studio should be preferred until CLion maybe gets better MSVC integration.
