It is not debugging c++ files but it works fine with c files

Bug type: Debugger

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: windows 10
• VS Code Version: latest
• C/C++ Extension Version: latest
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them): code runner by jun han. and yes the issue is still there after disabling it.
• A clear and concise description of what the bug is. So the debugger in vs code is not allowing me to debug c++ files but i can debug c files, so i dont know what is the problem with it. I was able to debug c++ a few days ago but now i am not allowed to do so. Whenever i try to debug this message comes up : "the prelaunch task 'C/C++: g++.exe build active file' terminated with exit code -1".

To Reproduce
Please include a code sample and launch.json configuration.
Here is the code sample :
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main(){
printf("hi");
return 0;
}

Here is the launch.json :
{

"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [

    {
        "name": "gcc.exe - Build and debug active file",
        "type": "cppdbg",
        "request": "launch",
        "program": "${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe",

            }
        ],
        "preLaunchTask": "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file"
    }
]

}

Here is the task.json :
{
"tasks": [
{
"type": "cppbuild",
"label": "C/C++: gcc.exe build active file",
"command": "C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe",
"args": [
"-g",
"${file}",
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe"
],
"options": {
"cwd": "${fileDirname}"
},
"problemMatcher": [
"$gcc"
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
"detail": "Task generated by Debugger."
}
],
"version": "2.0.0"
}
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
just make a new file with the cpp extension. copy paste the code. click on debugging provided u have included these json files. and u can see the error.

Additional context
If applicable, please include logging by adding "logging": { "engineLogging": true, "trace": true, "traceResponse": true } in your launch.json
Add any other context about the problem here including log or error messages in your Debug Console or Output windows.

Start with the .vscode/launch.json and tasks.json configurations shown in the report, then reproduce debugging a new .cpp file on Windows with the C/C++ extension. Compare the pre-launch task reference with the defined task and verify the build completes before debugging starts; done means the sample C++ file builds and launches under the debugger without the reported exit-code error.
