    Try adding this line to any source file:

    #pragma comment(lib, "mincore")

    (Or add mincore.lib to linker options).

    And check that the function works.

    Hello @04419928,

    Thanks for binging this to our attention.

    I can reproduce this issue. I've reported it internally and will update here if there is any progress.

    Use mincore.lib instead as @Viorel pointed out.

    Thank you!
