"Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0)" needs to be selected under "Optional". See: MSVC prerequisites - The rustup book

You have a newer version installed. I would expect it to work with either, but maybe the older version is explicitly required.

I installed the latest Windows 11 SDK

#[link(name = "c")]
extern "C" {
    /// `tcsetattr()` sets the parameters associated with the terminal
    /// (unless support is required from the underlying hardware that is
    /// not available) from the termios structure referred to by termios_p.
    /// optional_actions specifies when the changes take effect
    pub fn tcsetattr(fd: c_int, optional_actions: c_int, termios_p: *const termios) -> c_int;

I don't think k_board will work with windows. These functions are part of the termios api which is part of posix.

I want to find a library where I can handle keystrokes like w a s d and arrow (left, right, up, down)

Depends on your application type. For tui/gui/game apps, these are usually provided by the tui/gui/game library you’ll use. Otherwise there are crates like rdev and device_query which appear to be crossplatform and might cover your needs.

it is explicitly looking for a library named c, which is libc.a on posix systems, and c.lib on msvc. apparently, this will not work under msvc, because there's no libc. besides, even if you change libc to the msvc runtime (e.g. ucrt), it still won't work, because the API tcsetattr() is posix specific, it is not available on Windows.
