Visual Studio: Some files not recompiled - how to debug ?

Hi, in one of my projects it happens from time to time that when building with Visual Studio (not Code), I get linker errors, because some cpp files have not been recompiled. So it seems that after a header was edited, some cpp files were not recompiled, although they use that header indirectly. How are those dependencies handled in Visual Studio projects, where can I start looking ? Do you have suggestions how to debug this issue ? Thanks in advance

Maybe it works for you.
