Interesting fact :
we run now into this compile error :

d:\a\jdk\jdk\jdk\src\jdk.crypto.mscapi\windows\native\libsunmscapi\security.cpp(1262):
 error C2065: 'NCRYPT_CIPHER_KEY_BLOB': undeclared identifier
d:\a\jdk\jdk\jdk\src\jdk.crypto.mscapi\windows\native\libsunmscapi\security.cpp(1280):
 error C2065: 'NCRYPT_PROTECTED_KEY_BLOB': undeclared identifier

Reason seems that already for some time  ( at least OpenJDK 11 (!) )  we have 
an implicit minimum requirement of Windows 8 / Windows 2012
APIs for this code, so enforcing Win 7 is too old :

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/ncrypt/nf-ncrypt-ncryptexportkey

NCRYPT_PROTECTED_KEY_BLOB
Export a protected key in a NCRYPT_KEY_BLOB_HEADER structure.

Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012:  Support for this value begins.

NCRYPT_CIPHER_KEY_BLOB
Export a cipher key in a NCRYPT_KEY_BLOB_HEADER structure.

Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012:  Support for this value begins.
