Can't build plugin.sln (C2760 Error) [Visual Studio 2019 Community]

[kozooh]

While I'm trying to build a solution (all four projects) in release mode I'm having hundreds of C2760 errors.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1A\include\objbase.h(239): error C2760: syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'type specifier'

ADDITIONAL INFO

Line 239: static_cast<IUnknown*>(*pp); // make sure everyone derives from IUnknown

//  IID_PPV_ARGS(ppType)
//      ppType is the variable of type IType that will be filled
