Visual Studio 2015 Community C++ Build Failure: A task was cancelled - c++

I'm trying to build a brand new c++ console project in Visual Studio 2015 Community and getting the following output:
1>------ Build started: Project: ConsoleApplication3, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>A task was canceled.
1>A task was canceled.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
From this question it looks like the same problem. but the time has been recently synced:
And restarting Visual Studio doesn't change the build output. I've tried uninstalling Visual Studio and then reinstalling it, but the outcome is the same.

Delete Debug/Release folders and restart MSVC.

Visual Studio 2022 "A task was cancelled" after build

I'm using Visual Studio Community 2022. Now I have a similar problem with Visual studio 2013 "A task was cancelled".
A few moments ago, everything went alright. However I suddenly found that when I try to build my cpp project, VS only output
1>----— Build started: Project: MyConsoleApp, Configuration: Release x64 —----
After about 5 minutes, it becomes
1>----— Build started: Project: MyConsoleApp, Configuration: Release x64 —----
1>A task was canceled.
1>A task was canceled.

All my cpp projects have the same problem now. My time zone is correct. I have tried to reopen VS, restart my computer and reinstall Visual Studio, but this problem still exists.
I have the same problem as you, since February 28th, VS2022 could not build any project, until today, I uninstalled the anti-virus software (360 Security Guard) installed on my computer, it returned to normal work, I think this is due to the anti-virus software update caused by the incompatible VS2022, You can try uninstalling the anti-virus software installed on your computer, which may solve the problem

Visual Studio 2017 C++ Up-To-Date check always report up-to-date

I'm using VS2017 write C++ projects. After some version update, it cannot auto detect source file changes. The Build(F7) command always report something like:
1>------ Up-To-Date check: Project: hello, Configuration: Release Win32 ------
1>All outputs are up-to-date.
1>Time Elapsed 3 ms
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
Although I can use Rebuild to get things work, it could be quite slow for some large projects. Are there any idea about this problem, or about how the build process check whether sources are out-dated?
Thanks.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ucrtd.lib' in VS2017 RC

I keep getting an error when I build a C++ project in Visual Studio 2017 RC.

OS: Windows 8.1, Visual Studio 2017 Release Candidate
Here is my program:
int main()
{
}
I did not set the language to anything special
I searched my whole machine for the file., but could not find it.
I have installed Windows SDK 8.1
Update:
After the comment from #user1336087
I tried to install Windows SDK 10I get an error:
[14f0:0009][2016-11-23T09:22:20] Package 'Win10SDK_10.0.14393.33,version=10.0.14393.3300' failed to install. Command executed: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Packages\Win10SDK_10.0.14393.33,version=10.0.14393.3300\packages\Win10SDK\10.0.14393.33\sdksetup.exe" /features OptionId.WindowsSoftwareDevelopmentKit OptionId.WindowsSoftwareLogoToolkit OptionId.NetFxSoftwareDevelopmentKit /quiet /norestart, Return code: -2146889721, Details: The hash value is not correct.
A workaround seems to have been described here: link
But the workaround still fails, even when I uninstall all SDK and install again.
It works in the final version of Visual Studio 2017
This comment here helped me with the same error. It seems having old versions of the Windows SDK present can cause LINK to get confused. Deleting the old version I had fixed the problem.

Migrating a project to a different computer: "Error: The device is not ready."

I'm using Visual C++ 2010 Express, and I just copied over a full project folder to a new computer (both are on Windows 8, if that's relevant). I opened the solution file exactly as I did on the other computer, and tried to build.
I'm getting the following error:
1>------ Build started: Project: <project_name>, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Error: The device is not ready.

With no other context.
What's the deal?
