4. E1097: unknown attribute "no_init_all" in WinNT.h in Windows SDK 10.0.18362.0

when I compiled the example on stackoverflow, I got this error message:

Error (active) E1097 unknown attribute "no_init_all"

E1097: unknown attribute "no_init_all" in WinNT.h in Windows SDK 10.0.18362.0

solution is to add the following code into stdAfx.h file:

#if (_MSC_VER >= 1915)
#define no_init_all deprecated
#endif


There is a bug in WinNT.h in the latest Windows SDK (10.0.18362.0). There is the following code in WinNT.h to disable this warning:
#if (_MSC_VER >= 1915)
#pragma warning(disable:4845) // __declspec(no_init_all) used but d1initall not set
#endif
However, in the latest Windows SDK, this is no longer warning 4845, but is instead error 1097 (E1097: unknown attribute “no_init_all”).

As a result this error now leaks out into the rest of the project.
