Windows 8 has been launched by the Microsoft with a whole new touch interface and a completely different user experience. Windows 8 software development kit (SDK) is not about desktop applications only. It is a much broader platform integrated with the DirectX and the.Net Framework which can be used to create Windows 8 apps and games. Aug 30, 2015 Install the windows 10 sdk. After it is installed do a repair on VS 2015. If you go to add remove features you should see the option to install the windows 8.1 sdk Thanks Ken Tucker for your reply, But I've already done it, But when in repair, I click on add 8.1 SDK, then after finish installation, the sdk 10 hides from Visual Studio. The updated Windows SDK can be used to build apps for the following Windows operating systems: Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Also, you are advised to install the latest updates and patches from Microsoft Update before installing the Windows 8.1 SDK.

I retargeted the solution as it said, and the problem persisted, even though the retargetting was completed.I decided to install visual studio 2017 because of this, and, lo and behold, it did the exact same thing.I'm also using windows 7.
What is the problem and how can i fix it?

I faced this problem too. Re-ran the Visual Studio 2017 Installer, go to 'Individual Components' and select
Windows 8.1 SDK
. Go back to to the project > Right click and Re-target to match the SDK required as shown below:Microsoft Windows Sdk For Windows 8.1

I installed the 8.1 SDK's version:
It used 1GB (a little more) in the installation.

Another way (worked for 2015) is open 'Install/remove programs' (Apps & features), find Visual Studio, select Modify. In opened window, press Modify, check
Languages -> Visual C++ -> Common tools for Visual C++
Windows and web development -> Tools for universal windows apps -> Tools (1.4.1)and Windows 10 SDK ([version])
Windows and web development -> Tools for universal windows apps -> Windows 10 SDK ([version])
and install. Then right click on solution -> Re-target and it will compile

I had win10 SDK and I only had to do retarget and then I stopped getting this error. The idea was that the project needs to upgrade its target Windows SDK.
