The OSD can be shown via the WINDOWS - A shortcut (or clicking the tray speaker icon). Unfortunately, the bug is more severe with Win11 as MediaMonkey doesn't display at all in the OSD (unlike YouTube Firefox videos, the default Windows video Player, or Foobar2k). Note: tested with MMW 5.1 portable
