function MoveCurrentWindowToDesktop() not working after windows 11 update

[markoinether]

After updating windows 10 to 11 (built 22000.51) this function is no longer working. Compiling with autohotkey -v 1.1.39 unicode 64 bit. any suggestions how to make it work again? Thank you very much!

Yup. I discovered this problem today as well

Encountered the same problem in win11.
Is there any solution？

Does it get fixed with https://github.com/pmb6tz/windows-desktop-switcher/pull/76 ?

(Just download the newest version of the script, or manually apply the changes from the fix in the link)

Updated the latest code, but it still doesn't work, the window does not move, the following is the autohotkey execution log:

DIICall does not work with win11

MoveCurrentWindowToDesktop(desktopNumber) { WinGet, activeHwnd, ID, A DllCall(MoveWindowToDesktopNumberProc, UInt, activeHwnd, UInt, desktopNumber - 1)
switchDesktopByNumber(desktopNumber) }

Instead VirtualDesktopAccessor.dll by https://github.com/skottmckay/VirtualDesktopAccessor/tree/master/x64/Release It works for me.

Not for me: trying to move a windows to a desktop AutoHotkey switch to that desktop but selected windows does not move
