@ZelCloud you have three options to avoid conflicts:

Definine the required symbols from windows.h instead of including the full header.
Compile the windows.h with functions using it on an independent module/code-unit (a separate .c file to generate a separate .o) and link with it.
Try to avoid conflics with windows.h defines:

#if defined(_WIN32)
// To avoid conflicting windows.h symbols with raylib, some flags are defined
// WARNING: Those flags avoid inclusion of some Win32 headers that could be required
// by user at some point and won't be included...

Uh oh!

Raylib doesn't build with windows.h #1217
