Hi,
I would like to using "libloaderapi.h" library that allocated in "Kernel32.lib" Library and "Kernel32.dll" DLL
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/libloaderapi/nf-libloaderapi-getprocaddress

But when I compiled the program with visual studio 2019, there is an error with the library "minwinbase.h"

typedef RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION CRITICAL_SECTION;
typedef PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION PCRITICAL_SECTION;
typedef PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION LPCRITICAL_SECTION;

typedef RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG;
typedef PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG PCRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG;
typedef PRTL_CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG LPCRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG;

Error: identifier is undefined.
these are declared in "winnt.h"

    You don't need to include it
    As the doc says, just 

    #include <windows.h>
