Unable to create C++ projects

Hello guys! I’m not able to create C++ projects on Unreal engine 4.23.0

Here are the actions I’ve taken to fix it without success:

Based on the instructions here: Setting Up Visual Studio Development Environment for C++ Projects in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.2 Documentation
I made sure that my visual studio community 2017 install included the following components but it didn’t work
*Game development with C++
*C++ profiling tools
*Windows 10 SDK (10.0.15063.0)
*Windows 8.1 SDK and UCRT SDK
*Unreal Engine installer

I also ran the verify tool in the Epic Games Launcher and didn’t work either

Below is the error code I’m seeing

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

As a follow up comment on this question, when I choose the option to create a new project on Blueprint mode and I try to create a new C++ class on it, the following error message appears
