Visual Studio blocking Arduino IDE

I have been using the Arduino IDE and am happy with it. As a part of a course in C++ I am taking, I have had to install Visual Studio Coding. Now when I try to compile my sketch I get a lot of error messages regarding libraries and compiler errors in general. I assume that the VS compiler is given priority. Is there a way to change this? I would like to continue with the IDE as I don't know much about VS yet.

No connection, the IDFE is one application, VS code is another. I have both and they are ignorant of each other. Sounds like a user install error.

You probably don't have your VS Code project set up properly. I use Arduino IDE and VSCode and switch between them without any issues.

Thanks for your reply. Where can I find the info on VS/IDE setup. As I said, I'm not familiar with VS.

Problem resolved. I am using an SSD removable drive to save space on my laptop drive. The SSD changed it's identifier from D to E.
