you can use Codelite, Ultimate++, or EclipseCDT
1. PellesC => small C+win32 hobby
2. Msys2+mingw64 => main env for rust too
3. Clang-LLVM + Windows SDK + Cmake + jom (and Windows CRT from C3 install) => Works fine https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmo...
(I use 3 for D too)
4. I would like to add to your guide compiling with OpenWatcom V2 (https://github.com/open-watcom/open-watcom-v2)
5. Cygwin they have latest GCC 15 in testing
6. Winlibs or equation.com mingw distros

would you like a guide for windows with method 3?
methods 2/4 should work out of the box
still I recommend you to give a go to latest D (dmd or ldc2) with method 3
(2 may work too)

(personally I have both msys2 + and git-bash)
But I think method 3 is what you need.
BTW use UnigetUI (I configured with scoop/chocolatey/winget) to install cmake/jom
WindowsSDK, C3 (for the CRT) and clang-llvm you need to do by hand.
Then you are msys2-free
Maybe I need to do a dev-to/medium article for this.
