 One can skip vcpkg manifest default features to speedup the configuration step.
 For example, the following invocation will skip all features except for "wallet" and "tests" and their dependencies:
 ```
-cmake -B build --preset vs2022 -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_NO_DEFAULT_FEATURES=ON -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_FEATURES="wallet;tests" -DBUILD_GUI=OFF
+cmake -B build --preset vs2022 -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_NO_DEFAULT_FEATURES=ON -DVCPKG_MANIFEST_FEATURES="wallet;tests" -DBUILD_GUI=OFF -DWITH_ZMQ=OFF
 ```
 
 Available features are listed in the [`vcpkg.json`](/vcpkg.json) file.
