SFML is a general-purpose multimedia library, which aims to provide the basic building blocks for easy and fast access to input, graphics and sound. It's not a game engine. The idea is that a lot of stuff, that easily can be built as an extension, is not part of SFML itself, to keep the API lean.
...

you all keep saying that, but its not really true
how many non-game applications have been made using sfml compared to how many games made with sfml

So, you have the following options:
VSync (easiest for graphics, aligns refresh rate with monitor)

is VSync really an option ?

I see a bunch of example SFML and SDL games that set the vsync option, but can't the player disable that globally ?

so relying on that wouldn't work, right ?

Graphics / Re: Images do not appear on the screen when debugging my program.

what if you're not in debug mode ?

what if you build the exe and run the exe directly --- outside of the IDE

So if you want to solve the problem, then do what I have by now pointed out for the third time, do not add SFML_STATIC to your project file if you're not linking statically, which you aren't based on your screenshots.

that doesn't solve his problem at all

he specifically states he doesn't want to have to move dlls into the exe folder

he WANTS to link statically and he doesn't know which "things" to include in the project

you're getting hung up on the phrase "static dlls" when its obvious he doesn't know the correct terminology

@rogeriodec
when it says this
"If you want to get rid of these DLLs and have SFML directly integrated into your executable, you must link to the static version. Static SFML libraries have the "-s" suffix:"

its not saying "if you want to get rid of these dynamic DLLS ... you must link to the static version of the dlls"

its saying "if you want to get rid of the DLLs completely then use the static libs"

sfml-window-s.lib
sfml-system-s.lib

but you'll also have to link to
opengl32.lib
freetype.lib

and other stuff as listed in the chart
