Invalid Handle when using SetConsoleWindowInfo - c++

Question

I'm new to C++ and decided to challenge myself with a small console game. To avoid typical flickering.
Fromm what I got from MSDN docs I should be using a Console Buffer, but I took it easy and started from simple things like changing Window title and resizing it.
The small program I wrote was meant to do just that, but for some reason I get Error Code 6 (should be "invalid handle") when I execute the SetConsoleWindowInfo.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction with this? Thank you in advance
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
HANDLE wHandle, bHandle;
SMALL_RECT wSize = { 0,0,100,100 };
int main() {
wHandle = GetConsoleWindow();
if (wHandle == NULL) {
printf("Handle is Null");
}
SetConsoleTitle(L"NewTitle");
if (!SetConsoleWindowInfo(wHandle, TRUE, &wSize)) {
printf("SetConsoleWindowInfo (%d)\n", GetLastError());
}
getchar();
return 0;
}

Maybe this will help:
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
HANDLE wHandle, bHandle;
//SMALL_RECT wSize = { 0,0,100,100 }; // If SetConsoleWindow fails with code 87, then this is too big!
SMALL_RECT wSize = { 0,0,60,20 }; // Works on my screen!
int main() {
// wHandle = GetConsoleWindow();
wHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); // See comment by RbMm
if (wHandle == NULL) {
printf("Handle is Null");
}
// SetConsoleTitle(L"NewTitle"); // Don't use a wide character string!
SetConsoleTitle("NewTitle");
if (!SetConsoleWindowInfo(wHandle, TRUE, &wSize)) {
printf("SetConsoleWindowInfo (%d)\n", GetLastError());
}
getchar();
return 0;
}
Feel free to ask, if you don't understand anything I've changed (or why I've changed it), but the comments address some of the issues.
