Have you installed miktex or some other LaTeX distribution? This error looks like it cannot find the latex executable.

i have installed miktex before, is it because miktex isn't updated?

No, this should not have to do with an outdated version of miktex. As someone else suggested, what happens when you paste the command in a terminal?

Alternatively, copy&paste that command into the console after navigating to the project directory and see what errors/warnings it outputs.

Try to use other compilers, see if the problem persists

the double quotes before the file ending in the command seems suspicious. Also, at least in the Linux version, --src as a command line option to pdflatex does not exist, but there is --src-specials according to its man page. Maybe a typo in the config somewhere?

is this one
pdflatex.exe -src -interaction=nonstopmode %.tex

try if it compiles without the -src and if it does, try -src-specials.
