It's confined to the C Runtime libraries, not part of the Windows API
proper. (Three exceptions: IP Helper uses the type, but the docs
contain a warning; a DHCP API that came along after the change to
64bit; an obsoleted Wbem class library for C++.)

The CRT has been causing compatibility problems in mixed-tools
projects for years. I find Microsoft's incessant changes so irritating
that I go out of my way to avoid using it in any project I intend to
deploy. It's just one of those things you end up having to deal with
somehow :(
