Spectre-mitigated libraries are required for this project, EVEN after i disabled it in options?

Question

I tried DISABLING the Spectre mitigation from the code generation in option, but i still cannot compile a simple hello world driver, why? how can i stop this message and just compile a simple hello world without needing to install these libraries? i tried to even install them using individual components, but there are 100 different versions in there.. tried installing the latest verison but didnt help..

I am using the latest version of visual studio 2019. SDK and WDK are both installed.

this is happening after i made a mistake of upgrading visual studio, everything was fine in my 2017 visual studio..

Answer 1

after you install those libraries( which is necessary ) you can go to project Property then C/C++ the Code Generation look down you going to find Spectre mitigation then you can enable it or disable it, this won't work if you didn't install those libraries which is necessary for the last update of visual studio
