It turns out you can use -vcvars_ver=14.50 instead of the full 14.50.xxxxx folder path. This is much simpler for folks.

Updated instructions for starting Visual Studio Command Prompt to reflect changes in version specification.

…//github.com/MicrosoftDocs/cpp-docs (branch main) (#6778)

* Update Vectorized STL algorithm documentation to reflect the current stae (#5937)

Since the last update:
 * ARM64 and ARM64EC vectorization was added. Mention of x64 and x86 is removed, as vectorization is now supported on any target, except deprecated `/clr:pure` and `/clr:safe` modes.
 * `includes` is now manually vectorized too
 * `replace_copy` is now manually vectorized too

Also moved `find_end` to `search` / `search_n` group, where it fits better.

* Update header-files-cpp.md (#5938)

Clarify intent of section

* Update documentation on accessing System.String characters (#5940)

* Update documentation on accessing System.String characters

Added important note about treating interior pointers as const and linked to unsafe code best practices.

* Update docs/dotnet/how-to-access-characters-in-a-system-string.md
