Error C1010 unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header

Question

I'm getting this error (as title says) with Visual Studio 2019. I have browsed through some other answers here (and elsewhere), but I am actually following the advice that I can find:

• I am including pch.h in every source file, at the top of the file
• I have this build option /Fp"..\obj\Debug-windows-x86_64\myProject\myProject.pch"
• I have also this build option /Yu"pch.h"

Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> Precompiled Headers has marked the header as enabled, and I have checked that the names match.

But, the precompiled header does not seem to be built (at least I cannot find it in obj/... directory), and this error persists.

I would rather not disable the precompiled header, but rather get it working properly. Any advice?

You need to specify /Yc (Create Precompiled Header File) for your pch.h file:
