Since commit 83ddc4d289
(VS: Do not select a Windows SDK too high for
current VS version, 2017-08-07, v3.13.0-rc1~72^2~2) we enforce a maximum
SDK version for the VS 2015 generator. The blog post linked in the
original commit is no longer available, but it can be seen here:

In particular, it states:
> VS 2015 Users: The Windows 10 SDK (15063, 16299, 17134, 17763)
> is officially only supported for VS 2017.
However, in some circumstances a higher version can be used.
Add a `CMAKE_VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM` to override the
generator's default maximum SDK version.
