Run and build don't work (Win 10)

Getting Help
1

I installed go, put in the environment variables, ran ‘go version’ and I get ‘go version go1.14 windows/amd64’. I created the hello world program by copying it from the installation guide, and when I try ‘go run hello.go’ (hello.go is in the directory I’m using), I get

runtime/internal/atomic

Same stuff when I do ‘go build hello.go’. What am I missing?

Your go installation seems toast. Did you unpack one version of go on top of another? I suggest removing and reinstalling.

Just did that. Same problem…

What’s the output of ‘go env’? Do you have go installed in WSL as well? What’s the output of ‘go env’ in WSL?

What’s happening is that you have two installations somehow overlapping.You need to figure out why that is.

It looks similar to your problem.

I removed go again, then deleted all files currently in the go folder, and started again. This time it worked. Problem solved, but not sure why…
