Check c++ version in windows

Question

When I try

cpp -v

It shows I have gcc 4.9.2 installed. How do I check the current C++ version that I have installed on my Windows computer ?

Thanks !

EDIT:

Trying with

g++ -v

gives me this result -

You mean version of the compiler? `g++ -v` should do the trick — Federico klez Culloca, Jun 28 '17 at 08:30
Do you mean the C++ *standard* version supported by GCC 4.9.2? How about [reading the manual](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.4/gcc/)? — Some programmer dude, Jun 28 '17 at 08:31
The screenshot in your question shows the version at the bottom... — Pezo, Jun 28 '17 at 08:57
@Pezo I already know the gcc version. I need to know the g++ version. — julianff, Jun 28 '17 at 12:08
Oh, now I get it. These are the same, gcc/cpp and g++ are just two different frontends (C and C++, respectively) for the same compiler. — Pezo, Jun 28 '17 at 14:11
You tried install mingw x32 OR x64 ? I think that in your case is x64 — , Sep 14 '17 at 07:02
This doesn't show the C++ *STANDARD*. How can I check for the C++ standard used by my compiler (gcc 11) ? — SoaAlex, Sep 08 '21 at 11:38

Try using g++ --version command at cmd Because for me also g++ -version or g++ -v command hasn't worked.

Just use g++ -v or gcc -v which will give you your compiler version.

You can also go to your windows settings, click on "Apps" go to the search bar and search up c++ scroll down to the last item, and click on it. The version should be displayed fairly obviously for you.
