When using the function to alter a window style on a button on my window, it works by chance.
When using the function to alter a window style on my main window itself, it always freezes up.
A fresh FFI import of that function from winuser.h with the right pointer type works as intended.
A code proof would be a little fiddly right now, but the discrepancy becomes very clear when looking at both functions' signatures and the docs.
c_GetWindowLongPtr has a result of type LONG_PTR (64 bit). This is in accordance with the MS Docs at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-getwindowlongptrw
c_SetWindowLongPtr uses a parameter and returns a result of type Ptr LONG (32 bit), which is wrong. Docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setwindowlongptrw
