The only time BT calls SetProcessInformation is to put itself into deep sleep on start. I think this is only supported starting from Windows 10 though.

@aloneguid, it seems there is nothing what this app needs from Windows 10 that doesn't exist in Windows 7, right? Then the proper way to deal with it is to slightly change a compilation process so that the app becomes more accessible for a broader audience, Windows 7 users included. It's kinda weird to boast that it fits a floppy (perhaps youngsters even don't know what it is), yet requires such a monster as Windows 10 to run.

Windows 7 is out of support by Microsoft, therefore I don't see a point in supporting it.

@aloneguid, who cares what Microsoft supports or not? They support this or that for reasons of financial gain, but functionally this or that continues to work. Look around: even Powershell is still built (7.2.17), not to mention popular apps such as Autohotkey, Foobar2000, Irfanview, KeePass, MPC-HC, SublimeText, SumatraPDF, Telegram, etc.
