MSB6006: “CL.exe” exited with code -1073741819

Recently I was working on my first general project in Visual Studio. I realize that my windows defender antimalware was turned on by automatically, while I was working on my project, windows defender gave me a notification about something that was about my visual studio. after that error, I basically go and turned windows defender off because I don't use it... and from here I started to get this error message when building any project

example of a project:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello world" << endl;
return 0;
}

Build message:

------ Build started: Project: Hello World, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
main.cpp
F:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Studio Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(423,5): error MSB6006: "CL.exe" exited with code -1073741819.
