Looks like 18.0.0 release has a scouting queue: https://dev.azure.com/dnceng/internal/_wiki/wikis/DNCEng%20Services%20Wiki/1572/VS2026-Upgrade-Schedule

The comment still references Visual Studio 2022, but the toolset has been updated to v145 which corresponds to Visual Studio 2026. Please update the comment to reflect this change, e.g., <!-- v145 = Visual Studio 2026 -->

Suggested change
<!-- v143 = Visual Studio 2022 -->
<!-- v145 = Visual Studio 2026 -->

The comment is outdated and inaccurate. The SDK version 17134 corresponds to Windows 10 v1803 (April 2018 Update, not v1903), and the code now uses version 10.0.26100.0 which is the Windows 11 24H2 SDK. Please update the comment to accurately reflect the current SDK version, e.g., <!-- 26100 is Windows 11 24H2 SDK -->

Suggested change
<!-- 17134 is Windows 10 v1903 (19H1) SDK -->
<!-- 26100 is Windows 11 24H2 SDK -->
