Here are the exact steps that I take:
1) Open Visual Studio Community (Running on Windows 8.1)
2) Create New "Win32 Project"
3) In the "Application Settings" menu I have "Windows application" as the application type, I check "Empty project", and I uncheck everything else. Then "finish".
4) I add a new file "test.cpp" under the folder "Source Files"
5) Into test.cpp, I write: #include <windows.h>
At this point, I have 139 errors in my error list. I have appended the build output to the bottom of this post.
I'm very confused, no one else seems to be having this problem. Notice how all the errors are happening at "c:\program files (x86)\windows kits\8.1\", there's another folder in "windows kits" called "8.0", is VS using the wrong Windows SDK?
I have tried reinstalling Visual Studio, and I have tried reinstalling both Windows SDK 8.1 and 8.0.
Thanks for any help!

Update: I have uninstalled VS2013 Community, and installed VS2015. I still can't compile, but the errors are much more readable. http://pastebin.com/jDBDB4FS. All the build errors appear to be coming from one file: specstrings_undef.h. This is really confusing.

Please edit your post and remove that giant wall of code.
You can use something like pastebin instead. It keeps your post looking clean and still allows people to look at your error log.
I uploaded it for you here:

It may be that you didn't install the windows sdk,or didn't run the cmd file. Installing windows for that problem alone is something that requires a lot of guts.
