The media display still shows up in the lockscreen #1

It functions for the most part when using the PC normally except for the lockscreen. In the lockscreen the display appears in the bottom right corner, with the media title, thumbnail and control buttons. Could it be that the lockscreen display cannot be hidden due to Windows limitations or was it overlooked?

I was using Windows 10 1809, I don't even remember such a feature on lockscreen in it. You can disable lockscreen at all (you'll immediately see login form) with NoLockScreen registry key as I have googled. Now I am no longer using Windows, on my second PC lockscreen is not showing (maybe because I have disabled auto user login), if you want (and know how to), you can use Spy++ to find lockscreen media controls window and help me to add this feature, but, I guess, lockscreen window could be secured from user-space programs.

I don't know how to use Spy++ and I have never heard of it. Sorry but I can't help. Also I don't want to remove the lockscreen so I can't do the NoLockScreen fix. However this fix should be done as it gets annoying when you want to prevent the OSD but you still see it somewhere.
