@mc-donald666 Which exact build number? Does the update blog post have any mention of this feature not working (known issues etc.)?

I've updated the code to (hopefully) work, could you try again?
Not working for me on windows 10, version 21H2, OS build 19044.2251

@Gavin-Gomel-Dunn this only works in Windows 11 (specifically if the build number is >= 21286 as noted in the readme above)
