Answer 1

You probably want to use #include <new>

Answer 2

Make sure that you have proper include file path listed in your solution for new.h. Search for new.h on your disk and add the file path to your include .You can find it either in your Windows Kits or Visual studio folder. Once you had added it then try to recompile your solution.

Thanks

Hi,

The new.h lives in the SDK folder(e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.x.x.x\ucrt).I suggest you should try to change "Windows SDK version" in project settings, and select the latest "10.x.x.x" version available from the drop-down list.

Best Regards,

Jeanine

Make sure you have window sdk installed. Depends upon which windows you are on, on weindows 11 I had to Download 10.0.10240.0 from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/
