There's a missing closing line for the code block. A code block started at line 19 with triple backticks should be closed with triple backticks after the last command.

The code block is not properly closed. A closing triple backtick is missing after the command examples.

There are excessive blank lines at the end of the file. Consider removing these trailing blank lines to maintain cleaner documentation.

Description
This PR updates
samples/cpp/README.mdto include a Windows Troubleshooting section.Motivation:
When compiling the C++ samples on Windows (Visual Studio 2022), the
chat_sample.exeoften fails to start with "System Error" or "DLL not found" because the required OpenVINO and TBB libraries are not automatically copied to theReleasefolder.Context:
The new section provides explicit commands for users to manually copy the missing DLLs from their Python/OpenVINO installation, ensuring the sample runs correctly after compilation.
Tests:
