Win 11 Windows Control Overlay Stopped Working With 1.71.2

[iDad5]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
Yes it does

• VS Code Version: 1.71.2
• OS Version: win 11

Windows 11 adds the "SnapLayouts" feature to the maximize/restore button in the titel-bar of any window. When you hover over the button the flyout appears and let's you choose a window layout. The feature can also be activated by pressing Win + z on the keyboard.

The flyout worked as expected in 1.71.1 it started not to appear with 1.71.2 the keyboard shortcut still works.

[All the Snap-Layout features are enabled systemwide on my machine, and other windows still show the flyout as expexted.]

We call it the window controls overlay (WCO). The WCO was disabled this iteration because of #159813. That issue has been closed, but it was closed by disabling the feature. We're currently investigating a longer-term solution to enable the WCO without causing that regression again. See PR #159958 for details.

The described behavior is how it is expected to work. If you disagree, please explain what is expected and what is not in more detail. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

Actually, since #159813 is closed, I can keep this issue open to track enabling the WCO again.

Verification steps:

1. On Windows 11 with VS Code Insiders, enable the window controls overlay setting in VS Code, reloading the program if prompted.
2. Hover over the restore/maximize button.
3. A layout should appear showing tiling options for the window.
