I think this happens because the Windows SDK is detected, but
VC is not. As the replacement import libraries for both are in
the dmd\windows\lib64\mingw folder, adding it to the library
search path would be causing some bad mixture of libraries.
VC is probably no longer detected because recent versions of
the VS installations do not write an expected registry key, but
assume the COM API to be used for detection (as added by
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9243).
So pedantically, this is not a regression in dmd, but a changed
environment. You should still be able to link when running the
vcvarsall.bat to setup the VS/VC environment variables.
In my case I want to use LLD for D. I had to install the Build
Tools for Python Development and this broke D (2.084.0). The
mentioned errors occurs.
Kind regards
