Hello readers,
I am incredibly new to Particle and it’s Workbench. As well as using VS Code in general. About a month ago, while following a tutorial, I had been learning and getting my Particle Projects to both compile and flash to my argon device.
Now starting about a week ago, after downloading and working on an existing repository for work, my code is no longer compiling fully and is terminating with exit code: 2. This repository was originally made to work on a photon, which it had done so on another computer, but may have somehow altered libraries within the Particle Workbench, or so I’m led to believe.
I have followed these steps Intellisense: Report Issues Here as well as these Updating from v1.3.x to v1.4.1 (or greater) hoping that one of which will revert my results back to how I had before.
Posted below is my minimal code that would crash the program and the Terminal following it:
SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Hello World!");
void loop() {
}
And the Terminal:

Press any key to close the terminal.
Also, one last relevant note, after heading on to the problems tab I was asked if I wanted a spark_wiring_spi.cpp file created because it was missing, so I hit yes and now I have an empty spark_wiring_spi.cpp file open.
Again, I am incredibly new to Particle and VS Code, thus am not even sure if I this would be actually be VS Code or Windows problem instead. I would appreciate any advice or tutorials sent my way!
command and set the target via 
?
and then
