MiniPlayer on Windows 11 does not work [#19615]

I was trying to use the "Micro Player" on Windows 11, latest version, MM5 latest version gold. A small modal says:
The MicroPlayer is not yet enabled. To enable it...
And those instructions probably worked for earlier versions of Windows, but if this relies on "toolbars" then I think it's not going to work any more as they didn't put them in Windows 11 as far as I'm aware.

Hi,
Windows 11 do not support Taskbar Apps and thus Micro Player is not available.

Realized this today when setting up a new machine on Win11. No more custom taskbars. :-(

Maybe you should disable that option on Win11 installations?

Hi, this issue is tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19615

The only workaround for now is installing ExplorerPatcher: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
