Maybe I googled badly, but I only found options with boost and c ++ 17 filesystem or through winapi. Really there are no +/- standard means for reading a directory in Windows?

Important!
in the Visual Studio 2017 release, the header is not yet a C++ standard. C++ in Visual Studio 2017 RTW implements the final draft standard, which is in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 21 N4100.

C ++ has nothing to do with Windows, so "it itself" does not know how to do this. Not skillfully, until the mentioned C ++ 17, which is the most real native C ++. There are some inconveniences and it seems that not the full functionality of winapi is available, but in 99% of cases it is enough.
WinAPI is a secure interface for connecting to libraries from any language.
