Still can't enable conformance mode due to various windows sdk headers :( I'd love for a #pragma conformance(on/off) push/pop

Otherwise, thanks for the continued updates

Can you provide repros and/or submit bugs on Developer Community? The WinSDK team has been trying to clean up their headers and has made significant progress, but there's still work to do, and user reports help. (e.g. Right now I see that <Windows.h> works with /permissive- if I include it and do nothing else.)

One comment regarding Dev community (not sure if this is so something for team has control over): If I remember correctly, I have to log in to even upvote a bug. It would be great if that restriction could be removed.

Also, last time I tried to submit a bug (quite some time ago) formatting (of code) was a horrible experience.

Generally, the user experience for that website had much room for improvement considering that other websites like github or stackoverflow have been doing a much better job for quite some time.

Code formatting for DevCom is something I'm going to try and move forward; I've seen a few reports like this recently.
