If I understand correctly, lilypond.exe generated by GUB uses msvcrt.dll instead of UCRT. The recent Visual C++ generated executables use UCRT. The executables generated by MinGW normally use msvcrt.dll. The recent MinGW can generate executables that use UCRT by a special configuration. However, GUB contains older MinGW that can not be configured as such.
