It's been ages since I last looked but IIRC Visual Studio is still the go-to and only real option for oldschool win32 programming (i.e. native windows, COM, etc.). I'm sure there are plugins and machinations to make VS Code competent at win32 too but for some companies and shops they're sticking to Visual Studio.

It looks like this official MS Rust library adds a lot of Win32 support: https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs

It should work well with VS Code.
