${workspaceFolder}\\*.cpp apparently not recognized as a valid path in vscode tasks.json

When pressing ctrl+shift+b in my workspace folder, I'm getting The terminal process terminated with exit code 1. That seems to mean the path is incorrect. Yet, I'm following instructions from Microsoft over here:

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw#_modifying-tasksjson

I also checked over stackoverflow and this should definitely work. When I replace *.cpp to main.cpp, it compiles without a problem. I have only one file right now but I will definitely have more in the future.

I am using vscode 1.44.2, g++ 9.3.0.
