visual studio problem
i have programmed for over 3 months in visual studio 2015 and find it fits me just right but two days ago i reinstalled my windows and wiped my computer clean due to a nasty virus and now when i installed visual studio 2015 it seems to fail to download updates and wont let me execute any program saying that i need the windows std version 8.1 but when i manually install it it fails as well and i cant
practice at the moment because of that problem.
if you can advice any other compiler (i focus on making windows software but cross platform would be nice as well) i am open to try something new but would prefer to stick to something i all ready know i.e visual studio 2015.
NOTE: i program with c++ obviously and my machine runs windows 8.1.

Visual studio is not just your compiler but your IDE (integrated development environment). An IDE allows you to type your code, contains the tools to compile your code into a program and document it. Usually and IDE also contains some build-in test features.

It is not Visual Studio, but as an alternative IDE it is worth a try. Code::blocks comes with the GCC compiler (if you select the complete download), but if you have other compilers installed you are likely to be able to use those too.
Kind regards, Nico Nijman

globaltourist, Have you got Windows itself back up and running fully? The last time I had a problem installing Visual Studio it was down to Windows update service not running properly.
