I tried to upload the image via sfml probably in all possible ways, but I got an error in the console
My code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
    sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "Test");
    sf::Texture texture;
    int i=0;
    if (!texture.loadFromFile("box.jpg"))
        std::cout << "Error!";
        window.close();
        return 1;
    sf::Sprite sprite;
    sprite.setTexture(texture);
    sf::Event event=sf::Event();
    while (window.isOpen())
        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
            window.close();
        window.draw(sprite);
        window.clear();
        window.display();
    return 0;
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm a beginner c++ and sfml developer.

The file with the picture is in all folders starting from the repos
I dragged the file over all folders in the solution folder, starting from the very first folder ending with the x64 folder, all without success, I searched the question on the Internet, I did not find. \
I tried to move the image to the C folder and specified the path to the image C:\\box.jpg, I got an error in the console:Failed to load image "╨°│╕;☻C:\box.jpg

                Is box.jpg located in the same directory from which your executable is launched? It is common mistake to place the image files in the source folders.

                If in doubt, just change loadFromFile("box.jpg") to the absolute path to your image and see if that works, something like loadFromFile("C:\\thisfolder\\thatfolder\\box.jpg")

    sf::Texture texture;
    int i = 0;
    if (!texture.loadFromFile("box.jpg")) // check file path or you can execute the program from command line to make sure
        std::cout << "Error!";
        window.close();
        return 1;
    sf::Sprite sprite;
    sprite.setTexture(texture);
    while (window.isOpen())
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event)) // poll event
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        window.clear(); // clear first
        window.draw(sprite);
        window.display();
    return 0;
If you don't use the absolute file path the folder tree is as follows:
C:\...\SFML
├───SFML // the image file needs to be here to run from IDE
│   └───x64
│       └───Debug
└───x64
    └───Debug // the image file needs to be here to run from command line
    └───Release  // the image file needs to be here to run from command line
Who has the same problem go to the project -> properties -> configuration properties -> advanced -> use debugging libraries, by default it is yes, you need to set it to default or "no".

(Sorry for my English)
                You shouldn't set "use debbuging libraries" to no if there isn't an actual reason for that. You just simply have the wrong linker properties. It is important to link to the libraries that match the configuration: "sfml-xxx-d.lib" for Debug, and "sfml-xxx.lib" for Release. A bad mix may result in crashes.

Make sure the image you want to load is in the same folder as the c++ project file. it doesn't need to be anywhere else but there.
Also make sure your file is named as it is in your program (box.jpg).
You should also move window.clear(); to above window.draw(sprite); or the image wont be displayed.
