Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 dropped Windows Vista! What is the latest version which would work properly?

the Dec 2021 is the latest Visual C++ redistributable for Windows Vista. I'm wondering if newer versions will work. Special procedures will be required.

The latest ones should be working with extended kernel. In fact, I got the Visual C++ 2022 compiler/linker working on Vista with an older IDE:

Yes, the compiled applications link against the supplied VC++ runtime and the signatures of this runtime like the padding with int 3/CC are evident if you look at the resulting code in a hex editor.

I warn people trying to compile for x86 (and especially if TEB/PEB is involved) that there are some optimization issues. None of the optimization switches work to fix that problem.
