Compilation on visual studio 2017(professional) throws linker error

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol NdisMRegisterMiniportDriver referenced in function DriverEntry

Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol NdisMDeregisterMiniportDriver referenced in function DriverUnload

Error LNK1120 2 unresolved externals Miniport

Using WDK10 and ndis.h is included in Miniport.h. What could be the issue?Any helpful information is much appreciated.

:)
