C++ CreateFile does not found .txt file in same fo

Question

I'm trying to use CreateFile function, but it does not go as planned.

I did a simple test code :

#include <Windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <tchar.h>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    HANDLE hFile;
    hFile = CreateFile(_T("test.txt"), GENERIC_READ, NULL, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, NULL, NULL);
    if (hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
        cout << GetLastError() << endl;
        Sleep(2000);
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I generate the .exe and place a file test.txt in the same folder.

When I execute the .exe I get getLastError() = 2 which means ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

How is it even possible?
