Unable to call `SetWallpaper()` due to error LNK2019 - c++

Question

Intro
First of all, I would like to say that I have read through the previous answers for this type of question, including this excellently written one.
However, I do not understand enough about C++ to be able to use the more "advanced" fixes.
I have ensured that the right type of console has been selected (Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) for those interested), and have the required imports with the possible exception of an IDL mentioned somewhere (that falls into the lack of understanding category).
If this is a duplicate, I would be more than happy to use the post I duplicated, but I have not been able to find anything that can help someone of my skill level.

SetWallpaper() is not a standalone function exported by the Win32 API. It is a method of the IDesktopWallpaper interface (see here).
So you need to use code that is more like this instead:
#include "headers.h"
int main()
{
std::wstring x = L"C:\\Users\\student\\Desktop\\i-should-buy-a-boat.jpg";
CoInitialize(NULL);
IDesktopWallpaper *p;
if (SUCCEEDED(CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(DesktopWallpaper), 0, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, __uuidof(IDesktopWallpaper), (void**)&p)))
{
p->SetWallpaper(NULL, x.c_str());
p->Release();
}
CoUninitialize();
return 0;
}
