"Play Button" is not displayed in the top right corner of the editor.

[DataSailor]

According to the document tutorial, when I need to compile a C++ file, I should find the "Play Button" in the top right corner of the editor and select "Run C/C++ File". But I can't find this button now.

I found the option C_Cpp: Debug Shortcut in the settings, which seems to be related. However, I have already checked it, but the corresponding button did not appear.

How do I make the "Play Button" appear, or how do I compile C++ files?

Thank you for your answer.

@DataSailor What version of VS Code are you using? What language is shown in the status bar in the bottom right? Does running the C/C++: Log Diagnostics command show output?

[DataSailor]

The environment versions I am using are MacOS 14.4.1, VSCode 1.87.2, and C/C++ 1.19.9.

The language used is displayed in the bottom right corner as C++.

I found a very strange problem when I use Cmd+Shift+P and search for C/C++ related commands, the list only contains three options.

Therefore, I cannot find and running C/C++: Log Diagnostics

@DataSailor I believe it's caused by C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine set to "disabled", see #11909

When I restore the C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine option to its default settings, the button appears normally. Thank you!
