Cl command not working

At the “Also Install Visual Studio Code” (at around 7:39) section of the course, trying to set up the command terminal. When I type “cl” I get an error:

cl : The term 'cl' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and 
try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ cl
+ ~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (cl:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I’m launching with the developer terminal, and I’ve verified that cl.exe is installed. I’ve done some googling, can’t figure it out. Do I have to enable so sort of path variable? Some Images if it helps:

images.

That’s the normal command prompt. Make sure you use the developer command prompt.

Ah, thank you I thought I pinned VsDevCmd.bat. For some reason I can’t find the developer command prompt by searching like in the video. I found VsDevCmd, but it crashes after a second or two every time I open it. I tried reinstalling VS and VS code but it didn’t fix the problem.

Just got it figured out. I still can’t find the developer command prompt by searching, but I was able to open it(without crashing) from the start menu following this post:
