This should be pulled out into a lambda and store the lookup rather than re-evaluating it each time.

This code is only compiled on windows, why do we need to get the library handle manually and get the function pointer. Can't we just #include <processthreadsapi.h> and then call the function directly?

The function was added in Windows 10 1607, which was also the only build (excluding Server 2016) where it isn't available in the header:

Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 LTSB 2016 and Windows 10 version 1607: GetThreadDescription is only available by Run Time Dynamic Linking in KernelBase.dll.

If there is compatibility that we are concerned about, I think that we should consider falling back to more ... esoteric solutions.

__try {
  RaiseException(MS_VC_EXCEPTION, 0, sizeof(info) / sizeof(ULONG_PTR), (ULONG_PTR*)&info);  
} __except (EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) {
}

Should be far more portable and is what VS also uses. This is documented at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2015/debugger/how-to-set-a-thread-name-in-native-code?view=vs-2015&redirectedfrom=MSDN.

I would be okay with also raising the requirements to a newer version of Windows as 1607 is RS1 which makes it more than 8 years old at this point.

You are talking about setting thread names, but I implemented getting a thread name from Windows.

There is the set name below though.

reinterpret_cast<void *>(GetThreadDescription));

An early out here would be nice to reduce indentation.
