Windows programming

If I want to learn how to use the windows.h library in C language or any other library of other programming languages, in order to build more complex programs able to open windows and to manipulate elements and events on them, where should I start? Is there a particular language or library that would be more suitable to use for this purpose? What should I learn first (considering that I have basic knowledge about C)?

C/C++ isnt the easiest start for gui, native code like windows.h is windows only, and the lib like Qt, sfml, etc i havent tried any so idk what to say. maybe you can start in java ? it's much simpler to write an UI, and the syntax isnt much different

java or c# ui are simpler and probably fit for you. coding basic are enough, but oop would make things better.

Yes, I am looking for something suitable for a beginner and then for something maybe more complex that I can switch to; but which skills and knowledge, in terms of basics, do I need to start with?

OK, thanks. I think that I will go for OOP first and then I will try something else.
