Found no layout file for "HTML" for kind "home"

support

I just installed Hugo on my machine and ran the commands

choco install hugo -confirm
hugo new site mysite
hugo server

Ive looked through these forums as well as Stackoverflow and none of the solutions that people got are working.
Ive reinstalled go but that didn’t fix anything.
I have no themes or anything installed it’s just a bare-bones hugo project so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

The full error message is this when I start a server

Assuming you have installed the extended version of Hugo, follow this quick start guide:
