Provided no other stuff is fed to the compiler, it will default the `_WIN32_WINNT` constant to `0x501`, which is Windows XP. This leaves a lot of modern features out, so it should probably be updated to something reasonably modern (eg Windows 8, as Windows 7 is old enough to be officially not supported) Also, there is no reasonbale hint to why stuff is missing, and the windows versions are not (or poorly) documented.
