Dear @AnshulYbd Thanks for your Issue! I wonder which IDE you are using and if you used visual studio (also if you generate the visual studio solution file)? How did you configure via CMake?

I can build and run the samples on Windows 10 with for example Visual Studio 2022 that supports CMake (You need install CMake support) so I am not sure how to reproduce your issue.

Thank you! Kind regards Kohnech
