Answer 1

If you are using librdkafka, you will get this error whenever "Windows.h" included.

I fixed it by rename "librdkafka/include/basetsd.h" to a different name, or access this library header via sub path!

I think the author of this library made this file to deal with OS platform compatibility. But with the same file name "basetsd.h" as Windows Core, it just confusing Visual Studio.
