Although I followed the steps in the explanation you sent me, these are the errors that I got:

You are not running under a MinGW x64 shell, but a MinGW UCRT (Universal C Runtime) x64 shell instead.
This may work, but I’ve never tried it myself.

Thanks,
Pierre

Please, keep the list in copy.
You can get MSYS2 from https://www.msys2.org/
Then install the following packages: https://github.com/FreeFem/FreeFem-sources/tree/master/etc/jenkins/deployRelease#windows-system
Also install MS-MPI: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100593
Configure and compile PETSc under a MSYS2 MinGW x64 shell.
Compile your code, and copy the binary.
Notice in my screenshot that there are two shells, the MinGW one for building PETSc.
The Microsoft (native one) for launching the binary.

Thanks,
Pierre

Is there a guide for it? That would be very useful! Because I have been trying a lot of things but every now and then there is a little step that is either outdated or can’t run!

Your help will be highly appreciated

Or you can use MinGW, it’s not tricky, you don’t need to change any PETSc code, and you can ship .exe for either x86_64 (mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc) or ARM (mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-clang, without MPI).

Thanks,
Pierre

You can try gcc/clang cross-compilers, it's a little but tricky, i had to change some petsc codes but it works fine.

Once I finish writing the code, the .exe file will not change. Can I make an .exe file using WSL2 and VScode?

If you build in WSL2, it will link to system libraries. You would probably need to run in WSL2 after that. If you are planning
on running on native Windows, you likely need to build there.

I have written backend code for a software company. If WSL2 and VSCode(Linux) can be called through a command line and executed at the backend, then it will be great. But if I have to install WSL2 and other required things on every other PC that will run that software, then I think I will be at a disadvantage. What do you suggest?

As long as you do not change the architecture and the compiler libraries are available, you can run the executable.

Thank you

Likely the compilers are not setup correctly as per instructions.

https://petsc.org/release/install/windows/#installation-with-microsoft-intel-windows-compilers

And if you do not have a specific windows need - and only need IDE - perhaps a WSL2 (aka linux) install with VSCode(linux) might be the way to go.
