Unable to compile Cpp project but blueprints work

I am unable to create any new projects in CPP, I keep getting the following error message:

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

I’ve tried reinstalling every SDK, VS 2017, VS 2015, Epic Games launcher, but I am unable to compile or open any projects in the editor unless it’s blueprint. Within blueprint I am unable to compile a blank file with the error:
