Should I use state variables from the C ++ standard or from the Windows API?

Question

With the introduction of variable conditions in Win32 C ++ program would be better to use the functions, classes and types of Win32 data (eg, CreateThread, SleepConditionVariableCS, WaitForSingleObjectEx, ReleaseMutex, CONDITION_VARIABLE) or those of the standard C ++ library 11 (eg, thread, wait, join, unlock, CONDITION_VARIABLE)?

Since the answer to this question is probably not binary, what considerations should be taken into account when making such a decision?
