Research direction
Start by searching the codebase for Windows-specific types such as UINT and identify the C++ standard-type equivalents used in nearby code. The issue provides no file or test entry point, so map the affected usages before changing them. Done means the relevant Windows-specific types have been replaced consistently across the codebase.
