It was removed along with all of the SDKs prior to the 16299 to streamline the Visual Studio installer.

You have two options, retarget the project to newer versions of the Windows 10 SDK or install the standalone SDK. The standalone SDK is available from the Windows 10 SDK archive page. Visual Studio will detect this even if you install it seprately.

This is a signature. Any samples given are not meant to have error checking or show best practices. They are meant to just illustrate a point. I may also give inefficient code or introduce some problems to discourage copy/paste coding. This is because the major point of my posts is to aid in the learning process.

Hi moha,

Sorry for delay in reply.

As far as I know, Visual Studio 2019 doesn’t provide with an option to install windows SDK 10.0.15063.0.

Download standalone Windows SDK 10.0.15053.0 or then retarget projects will work. You could follow Darran’s suggestion, download and install windows 10 SDK 10.0.15053.468 from Windows SDK and emulator archive, after that you will be able to use Windows SDK 10.0.15053.0.

If you have installed VS 2019 and want to retarget Windows SDK Version, you could right-click the project and choose Retarget Projects, then select the Windows SDK Version you want.

Hope all above could help you.

Best Regards,

Tianyu

Hi moha23,

Sorry to disturb you. Did your issue solved? Did you have any update?

Since you have this error when you build the solution, you need to download Windows SDK and install it first, and then restart Visual Studio. Visual Studio will automatically detect the installed Windows SDK version, after restart Visual Studio you could select to re-target project to the specified version you want, just like what I said above.

If this issue still persists, feel free to let us know and we will try our best to help you.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best Regards,
