I am using Sublime Text 3 on Windows 10 Home 1703.
I am asking for a recommendation on a compatible compiler.
Thank you

Apologies, neglected to mention that I am using C language.
My Sublime Text is registered and paid for.
Thank you

Maybe a question of taste, but this mainly depends on what you are planning to do. I like Visual Studio Compiler best on Windows as it provides native runtime available on most Windows boxes and comes with native Windows SDK.

You can use CMake to set up the toolchain and projects which could even be opened by Visual Studio.

You can also built your own batch files to built directly with CL.exe

It will probably be more understandable to use Sublime only for editing the text of your programs, then have a separate Command Prompt window (cmd.exe on Windows).

In that, you’d run a command to compile your program (e.g. gcc file.c -o myprogram.exe) and then another command to run your program (myprogram.exe)
