I need to use new standard library features, more specifically I need to use std::filesystem::directory_iterator. To use the standard library needs to be c++17 or higher. My compiler is using c++17 but it does not recognize the c++17 version of the standard library.

So my question is how to I use the latest standard library??? (I use visual studio and I use the MSVC compiler)

Which specific version of visual studio? – πάντα ῥεῖ Apr 01 '22 at 16:24
Have you actually set the mode to C++17 in Visual Studio? – user17732522 Apr 01 '22 at 16:26

Visual Studio defaults to C++14 mode unless you specify otherwise. Did you specify otherwise? – NathanOliver Apr 01 '22 at 16:27
