In Visual Studio 2017 Professional I created a new Empty Visual C++ Project and then added a new C++ File. After inserting this code
#include <vector>
int main()
{
std::vector<bool> args_convert;
args_convert.push_back(false);
return 0;
}
and trying to compile it I get this error:

In this online compiler http://cpp.sh/74rxa the sample code works without issues.
In particular, when I change Configuration Properties --> General -> Platform Toolset from v141 to an earlier version (such as v140) it works. What has changed in v141? My VS version is 15.7.2
