Exclamation Surface Pro 11 Snapdragon X Elite D3D9On12 broken

Hi,

After latest Windows Update my EQ started getting black window after I would Alt+Tab out. I tried various things but it's like the client doesn't receive the invalidation of the DirectX context. So it just doesn't draw the game after entering the game again. Luckily I was in a safe spot to /sit and /camp worked fine.

Eventually I decided to get WinEQ2 working. Problem I got was that WinEQ2 doesn't recognize the D3D9On12 mapping layer that comes with the Windows on Arm. I kept getting a popup saying DirectX 9c wasn't installed. So I ended up trying to install
latest DirectX 9....and it worked!
WinEQ2 launched and now rendering is working even after Alt+Tab.

However, running full screen doesn't seem to work. Window just animates like it's going full screen. Then directly goes back to its previous size.

Setting same resolution as desktop works, but UI text is so small. Right now I change desktop resolution and same size on WinEQ2 for readability.

Anyone gotten WinEQ2 + Windows on Arm on smaller screen working well?

To be continued...
