Error error C2872: 'boolean': ambiguous symbol for kinect.h

After VS19 got updated to 16.3.8, I cannot build my project and I receive the following error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Kinect\v2.0_1409\inc\Kinect.h(8574,28): error C2872: 'boolean': ambiguous symbol
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0\shared\rpcndr.h(193,23): message : could be 'unsigned char boolean'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.23.28105\include\concepts(213,9): message : or 'bool std::boolean'

I have tried to check the kinect.h header, but I do not have permissions to modify it and I do not want to mess with something that I am not familiar with. It used to be working before the update (VS19 16.0.0). I have also tried to clean, reboot, and double checked for any using namespace but the error is still there.

Based on the error:

The concepts file includes the following line 

#define _STL_BOOLEAN_CONCEPT boolean

The rpcndr.h 

typedef unsigned char boolean;

and then kinect.h 

virtual /* [propget] */ HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE get_IsInertial( 
        /* [annotation][out][retval] */ 
        _Out_  boolean *value) = 0;

Based on the comments and by setting the C++ Language Standard to C++ 17, I was able to successfully built my project.
