ERROR: During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.

Lately, I've been using VSCode to run and debug my C++ code, but when I try to debug vectors, maps, and list types, I can't see all the items. I noticed that I could configure it to be able to view them. So, I created a launch.json file to do that, but the Debug Console is displaying this message block [obvious censorship]:

I've been searching, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I wanted to help.

Screenshot of my Debug without the launch.json:

Start with the reported launch.json configuration and reproduce the C++ debug session in VS Code, focusing on the GDB startup output and the PATH environment entry. Compare behavior with and without launch.json; done means identifying and documenting the cause of the 0xc0000135 startup exit or confirming the required configuration change.
