I heard rumors that this works on Windows 11 again? I will give this a try later and give a little update with some information if it works :)

It works for me. (Windows 11 Build 22000)

NICE ONE! Time to uncomment that code :^)

I'd like to know what WINDOWCOMPOSITIONATTRIB enumerations can do. Is there any documentation on that?

@like-me there is no public documentation on this which is why this gist exists :)
