I have been trying to get SFML to work for the last few hours.

These two posts had a similar issue but did not help resolve mine.
c++ code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main() {
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "My window");
    return 0;
}

Build log:

Build finished with error(s).

I am using VSCode on Windows, with SFML version 2.6.1. I am completely new to using 3rd party c++ libraries so please be understanding. I have tried my best to link the right files but I know I could be at fault here.
