even though I'm pretty sure I configured the debugger settings correctly. It worked just a few days ago, but now it's suddenly giving me this message.

Where is the Compiler and Debugger you are trying to use installed?

Your post show three different MinGW GCC installations!

Edit: list of possible MinGW installations listed in your post.
C:\MinGW
C:\TDM-GCC-64
C:\Users\chihu\Desktop\CodeBlocks\MinGW
