I am trying to build a project (SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS) and my main looks like that:
int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {/*Code here*/}
I get following error in VisualStudio Community 2015 v. 14.0.25431.01 when building the release version:

A few weeks ago, I was able to build a release version of the project with the same compiler settings and the same code as I use now perfectly. I have tryed to remove the optimizations as recomended in the MSDN which did not work.
But I have noticed something strange:
When I delete any of the 3 files (.exe .iobj .ipdb) in the Release folder and rebuild the solution, it works just fine (new versions of the 3 files are getting created). When I change any setting in the project or when I add only a single line of code and try to rebuild, the same error occurs. If I then delete one of those 3 files again, I can build once more.
I think that this behavior could be caused by some compiler setting I don't know but I am not sure as I am not a VisualStudio expert.
O.k. I solved the problem by creating a new project and adding all the .cpp & .h files from the old project to it.
I still think there was a problem with the project settings which I set to default by creating a new project.
