Does FindWindowEx() work differently in Windows 11?

I was successfully using FindWindowEx() for getting a console window handle. The window search was conducted by window title. The problem is that this method stopped working in Windows 11.

Under Windows 10, FindWindowEx (-, -, -, "My_Console_Title") returns a valid handle to My_Console, which allowed me to send messages to it. Under Windows 11, the same call returns an invalid handle.

The issue has been fixed in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25231. You could refer to the link:https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/10/27/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-25231/

Fixed a rare issue where FindWindow and FindWindowEx might return an unexpected window.
