Answer 1

When you choose console aplication check the option: include precompiled header, most likely you created an empty project in which case you must manualy add the path to iostream file
in .vcxproj directory includes you should have:
Include Directories $(VCInstallDir)include;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\include;$(WindowsSdkDir)include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\include;
and
Library
$(VCInstallDir)lib;$(VCInstallDir)atlmfc\lib;$(WindowsSdkDir)lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\lib
if you have these and stdafx.h include in cpp but still no path to iostream you should check PATH environment variable not to be broken or any of the variables $(VCInstallDir) $(WindowsSdkDir) $(FrameworkSDKDir)
